Never been banned from anywhere nor do I intend to. I never made a Reddit account because of that scandal where a really talented artist got banned because the mods thought their art was AI generated even though the artist kept proving it wasn’t. What happened to Reddit since has only cemented my prexisting disdain for that site.

I decided to join social media early last year and I remember Lemmy was on one of the lists of new social media sites, so I joined it and have been having a great time ever since! 😃

I’m boycotting American products.

I’ve gotten myself banned from Reddit before, I just make a new account, I just started hating everything those neurotypicals say.

I found out about Lenny when I got fed up with “experts” giving the most brain rot advice on my field el expertise and realizing it is like that now.

Lenny has been amazing is the old internet and I really missed the old funny internet.

I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.

I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I’ve never been permanently banned from Reddit but I have been shadow banned before on multiple occasions because I tried stopping people from spreading misinformation. But that wasn’t the main reason as there were several other reasons I left Reddit. I’ve been using Lemmy for about 4 years now and I have no intentions of ever going back to Reddit.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

Closed reddit account and loving Lemmy! Here to stay. 😀

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

I’ve been banned for saying pro luigi or similar stuff, but since I am not attached to my account I just make a new one. The most annoying part of getting banned is just resubbing to your preferred subreddits. I prefer lemmy now days anyway and it is nice to see familiar usernames now and then and I don’t get as annoyed seeing constant liberalism. I still use Reddit for some things like really niche subjects, questions, or hobbies and people can be genuinely helpful in some subreddits ngl.

I also find the moderation here to be much fairer and more protective of vulnerable groups.
