i need to know
I liked Reddit but I couldn’t ignore what’s happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.
I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments
Just like lemmy more.
I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.
Saw one mod in a sub bragging about how they banned lots of users for challenging a post and they were getting cheered on. Wonder if that is in line with reddit’s policy?
How can you circumvent a reddit ban?
You don’t, you wait it out until they stop blocking that IP or email. New account.
Okay cool. Is that about a year or two for them to stop blocking it?
I waited about 6 months and I’m using the same email and devices. It felt like I had a temp shadowban when I was back on but after about 2 months that seems to have gone away.
I avoid getting pulled into fights now by blocking users and subreddits that are obnoxious.
The main reason I want to be back on reddit is some repeatedly keeps claiming on of my favorite local restaurants has bland food and doesn’t use enough salt. In actually though the restaurant uses a little bit too much salt.
Really want to tell them they are a moron.
I bet they have a bad sense of taste. Probably complain at every restaurant.
If you create multiple accounts they will shadowban you even. More. The best is to wait a while before creating a new one, use different devices, browsers if possible a different IP ,like a cafe or library. The more they catch, you the easier they can ban your newly created accounts faster
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
On average I think I end up spending more time on reddit, but I contribute to and like this community a lot more.
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
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.
470 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason.Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.
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.
I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
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
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)
What did the karma coins actually do? Never understood that part of Reddit.
I’m not sure, I think they were worthless (like, beyond respect from your peers which is naturally bs).
I think they also introduced awards which I know cost real money to buy but intriguingly were valueless to the receipient
