I’ve been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I’m still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else’s dick thank you very much.
I had a 13 year old account on Reddit, they can get fucked. The place is turning to crap, and now that boost has stopped working, I’m not using their shitty Reddit app.
I deleted my 12 year old account just this week because most subs I followed have been taken over by the image gen people (‘my friend fell in love with this <insert niche thing> and wants me to build it for her/him’) and I’m just pushing the market value of a shit product in my free time for no good reason. I don’t miss karma farming bots one bit
i did the same thing, i was skulking around the modhelp sub, they are totally complicit with the admins current banning directives. the mods are okay if people are randomly getting banned or comment removed, regardless if they had a ban in the past that was lifted. they just assume all is ban evaders. they are quite lazy people too.
also filters not resetting after peoples ban is lifted, is on reddit. i do give credit some mods did go out of thier way to help out a user that got banned, but the mods approved thier comments, but reddit was still banning them. thier AI banning is too faulty.

My distaste for reddit is also increasing. Good I found lemmy. Still not sure how it works.
Just keep in mind lemmy is hosted independently per instance and there are psychotic admins and mods here too.
