i need to know
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.
I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.
Just like lemmy more.
Permabanned but I do like it here
The only thing is I hope it grows so there is more non political content.
Yeah that would great
I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.
I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments
I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more
Same; haven’t looked at reddit since I came here (other than the occasional search engine question where a reddit thread has the info)
On average I think I end up spending more time on reddit, but I contribute to and like this community a lot more.
I’m still using both, but I’m sure with the changes in administration I’ll be getting banned soon. I already got a warning for saying that self-declared kings are liable to self-declared regicide
Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.
I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.
Saw one mod in a sub bragging about how they banned lots of users for challenging a post and they were getting cheered on. Wonder if that is in line with reddit’s policy?
How can you circumvent a reddit ban?
You don’t, you wait it out until they stop blocking that IP or email. New account.
I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.
I’m permanently banned from Reddit. I don’t like Lemmy nearly as much, but it’s probably just that I’m less familiar and haven’t figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there’s the obvious moderator issues with Reddit - mainly that I’m banned.
I don’t get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.
They ip ban you if you do that because they consider it ban evasion I believe
If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That’s how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don’t have a static IP address.
i agree, my ban is also a clear example of their bad moderation ong 🙏
I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I’m realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I’m noticing that it wasn’t that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.
I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.
I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn’t good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.
But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.
Found Lemmy during the API protest and ditched reddit. I’ve been meaning to go back to reddit and get banned over the whole crazy censorship thing, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
