i need to know
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don’t need reddit.
banned
decided to finally try the alternative
So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor
I don’t think I’m banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
Well I’m queer, and apparently the ceo is MAGAt
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 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 agree, my ban is also a clear example of their bad moderation ong 🙏
Yep.
discover I’m banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules
message mods to ask why, receive no response
ok, whatever, I’ll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on
permabanned for ban evasion
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.
They’ll still identify your device with many other data points available to them. Or at least they seem to be with me, even with VPNs and alternate browsers.
My modem doesn’t get a new external IP on reboot, either. None of mine ever have, that I can recall
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
