are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

Left on the API troubles went back once or twice for warframe and other small comunities but been liking here much better. I engage with people in here. It doesn't feel like screaming into the void.

I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)
I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.
I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.

I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit's organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc)

I go on reddit every now and again, but the Lemmy experience is better.

Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don't contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.

I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.

Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.

Just like Lemmy more.
I do miss the ability to find conversations about any niche topic I want.
But the conversations on Lemmy are more genuine/authentic and the platform is run on principal/morals. An enshittified platform based on greed and inundated with bots could never compete.
Put another way, Reddit feels like I'm talking to the ''internet'', Lemmy feels like I'm talking to people.

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.
But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.
Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly lurking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media

Neither, I still use reddit because the subreddits pertaining to my interests are still active. Lemmy is almost entirely political discussion and boomer Facebook comic strips from what I've seen, and most other boards pertaining to specific interests have low activity here. If that wasn't the case I would be using Lemmy much more.

I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager

I like Lemmy more.

There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

No but Reddit sucks.

Reddit sucks, it's getting worse day after day. I'm still there, but moving to Lemmy.

Left reddit when Sync stopped working. Been here ever since and I actually prefer it here anyway.
Reddit was and probably still is an echo chamber of bots and catch phrases. There were a few useful gems of information when you googled something, but now most of that content has become unreliable due to some people (like me) who salted and later deleted their comments before leaving.
Also Spez was a dick 🤷‍♂️

Just like Lemmy more.
Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.
I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.

Yes

I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts

No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.

I liked reddit but came here because I'm Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.

47 0 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason.

No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.

Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.
I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

I deleted my own Reddit accounts after They started censoring posts and subreddits.
There was all too many fuckups in the last few years.
The API scandal
The wallstreetbets scandal
Spez and Fuck Reddit
the Antiwork community scandal
the Luigi censorship LGBT and EDI
They have no control of that platform their hands are tied. They are sold.

I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.

I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.

Temporary ban but Reddit is becoming less and less fun. Less interesting.
It’s time to move on.

No, yes

reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it's unusable without api access and alternative clients like sync and boost.

I got a perma ban from reddit. Ive said this in other comments but I’ll add it here: A mod locked a post I was looking at and said something about how the post wasn’t good (I can’t remember exactly what the mod said). I responded by telling to the mod “get lost”. I got perma banned from that subreddit. Then like 5 months later I smoked some weed and, for whatever reason, felt the need to message the mod and say “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you”. Thats when I got a phat perma ban from the admins. I made another reddit account on a vpn. All seemed well until I launched reddit with the vpn off by accident. My new account was banned shortly after this. Either way, after the first ban I was looking at alternatives. I found the lemmsters. I still have the reddit app with my perma banned account. I can browse reddit all I want but I don’t use it for anything other than porn or when I google something and a reddit link pops up where my question is being answered. There are things I miss about reddit. Primarily I miss the large chess community there. It is far more developed than the chess community on lemmy. I wish I could get the chess community going here. I don’t really miss reddit for anything else. This is evident by the fact that I could’ve been on reddit right now, but instead I prefer to browse lemmy. I really like the fediverse idea. It interests me greatly and I hope to see it grow! One thing that is exciting that I missed out on with reddit is being there from the beginning. I know lemmy/fediverse is newer so I am happy to join during the more early stages and see how the fediverse as a whole grows.

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven't even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it's way less likely I'll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

I just like Lemmy more

I had an account on reddit, about five years old until I finally decided to leave it because i spend an ungodly amount of time there. Knowing myself and my habit to flake on self set goals I thought out the ultimate strategy to keep me from coming back: Over a couple of weeks I intentionally posted atrocious stuff on my main and my two alt-accounts to get me permabanned and burn every single bridge.
For now it has successfully stopped me from wasting time there any longer.

I left when RIF was disabled, 2 years ago now or close

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

You can get banned on Reddit? I thought you can only get banned by those sweaty mods.

My main and all my alts except one was banned cause I kept reporting blatant ads disguised as legitimate posts as spam. Happened around the same time they killed off 3rd party apps, so I needed a good excuse to try Lemmy anyway.

After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.

Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I've engaged way more here than I ever did there

Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.

Both

Both

Well I’m queer, and apparently the ceo is MAGAt

Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there's less content so I don't scroll as much.
I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this "I had 1500 karma coins" or whatever)

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app
