Wanted to quit Reddit and the censoring of anything critical of Elon game me the impetus.
I tried to get banned with my last couple posts but they ignored them I guess. Account is still there.
I nuked my 11 year old account when I moved here.
Wave of the future!
I got perma banned for saying that Elon Musk should get “burned” in Canada for fraudulent sales numbers posted by Tesla in order to qualify for Federal subsidies.
They took me literally, and claimed I was promoting violence. My appeal got shut down in less than an hour. They “burned” my 8 year old account, for saying that Elon should get “burned” in Canada. The irony is real.
Welcome to lemmy.
What’s your favorite molotov recipe?
I like lemmy’s culture more, but I still browse reddit
I was the primary mod/founder for a fairly large subreddit. During the blackout protests Reddit threatened to remove my mod rights if I didn’t reopen the subreddit. I told them to get fucked, and my account was banned. They also removed the other mods and installed new mods. I haven’t touched the platform since and will never use Reddit again.

hence the powermods, im guessing thats how 92 mods consildated thier power and control over 500+ subs. you can hazard a guess of which subs are being control by these groups.
I’m perma banned for spreading Luigi related posts.
I had numerous accounts, some throwbacks going back 11+years, almost all were purged in feb12-13, due to them trying to eliminate and astroturfing any anti-right wing talking points. now they are assuming almost anyone is a bot. and the last one i thought was safe, was just shadowbanned recently
It’s damn bullshit, you write something in Reddit, the stupid system thinks you’re a bot and bans you… good luck appealing this shit, you’ll be sitting there for months begging for a unban. Screw these lazy assholes.
Not banned but I like here more. I left during the Exodus/ blackouts/shutdowns. In another life I was a mod for a moderately successful sub and after going into the rabbit hole and seeing the app timer increase to hours a day, I felt they could at least gift mods premium and they could skip ads. After some drama and a high caliber mod left the sub, I followed shortly after as the community has grown and changed.
I barely use Reddit now. I’ve unfollowed any sub that has an equivalent here.
The main one holding me back is that native speakers of my language are there.
Every time I add a comment or post on reddit, I get banned all the time, I don’t even know why, I tried to appeal the ban, but no one gives a shit. Anyway, I like Lemmy better, it’s faster, lighter, and doesn’t have any dumb karma thing. So I deleted my last Reddit account, told the Reddit administration to go screw themselves, and I have no regrets.
Israeli IOF Hasbara in worldnews got me banned from everything. I have 5 fully shadow banned account. basically and effectively perm bans. Your page says “no user exists” and your posts and comments cannot be seen by any user nor any viewer in the world.
I like Lemmy more, especially since it’s not corporate owned. The Reddit admins turned the site to shit purposely to push their greedy agenda, they instilled moderators that acted in bad faith for many subs, they allowed misinformation bots and other bad faith actors to run rampant, and they hosted ads to bet on US elections for months up until the day of the election itself. Truly and utterly disgusting behavior from Reddit.
Ellen Pao deserved better, Spez taking over is what enshitified the site.
I’m currently trying out Lemmy because reddit is killing the Old Reddit interface and I refuse to use their shitty app or new interface website. Plus after using it I think it’s kind of fun to have reddit but smaller and more curated. It’s like Reddit used to be back in like 2012.
