Banned I don’t know how to behave online.

deleted by creator

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.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn’t like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it’s almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

Edit: did you really just copy the same post as? There’s no karma like on reddit you know that right?

I left Reddit on principle.
I still have functioning accounts over there.

The only time i go there is if I’m linked there when searching for info.

Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲

My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.

I had been though it all, having joined about a year after the site first launched. I have witnessed multiple evolutions of the broader community and management. I could no longer support what I knew was coming next, so I bailed after 17 years due to the API fiasco.

Now I visit only by chance on searches and RSS subscriptions to a couple super niche subreddits that are more likely to disappear than migrate anywhere else.

Left due to the crowd amassed for my country’s sub. I became friend with a few regulars there when the sub is small, but these day they’re significantly more and more people with a lack of common sense and logical thinking gathered there it’s hard to find new friend, to the point the friends i met just decided to lurk or quit. No more fun.

Then API fiasco happened and since i hate the official app so much as it’s significantly slower with horrible UI, it’s a final push for me to make the jump.

I wouldn’t say i like lemmy more, but it’s the one i tolerate now. If the main dev became unbearable then i jump again.

I over-wrote and then deleted my nearly 20 years of posts/comments and then deleted my account.

I still have my reddit account for niche stuff, but I overwrote all my comments with gibberish so they couldn’t use my words to train anything. I could definitely give up my reddit if push came to shove.

I still have my reddit account, but I nearly exclusively use it for a closed, non-public group I am in for nearly a decade.

But I have moved my focus to Lemmy.

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.

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.

I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.

Lemmy is just so much better quality.
