Perma banned. Definitely Perma banned.

Funny how I went what thirteen years or something, being the same cranky old progressive I’ve always been yet the MOMENT the orange cancer takes office again and reddit kowtows to muskrat, I get permanently banned.

Karma like no tomorrow so apparently a lot of people agreed with me.

Deleted my account because I burned myself out moderating a few subreddits

They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here

both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more

I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn’t offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.

Deleted my Reddit acc during the APIcalypse. Lemmy is just awesome.

Also some girl called Nicole just messaged me 😍

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

I’ve gotten myself banned from Reddit before, I just make a new account, I just started hating everything those neurotypicals say.

I found out about Lenny when I got fed up with “experts” giving the most brain rot advice on my field el expertise and realizing it is like that now.

Lenny has been amazing is the old internet and I really missed the old funny internet.

12 years, 900K+ karma, Permabanned soon after the inauguration for repeating a statement I’d made many times before.

Came to Lemmy and found lots of recently banned veterans. Many of us were high volume posters for over a decade, and never got banned, then suddenly we all turned into monsters that had to be permabanned in the same month.

I prefer Lemmy in many ways - no puns, fewer trolls, no bots, no Russian propaganda farmers, etc., but some of my favorite subjects are badly lacking. Reddit has several very large and active guitar subs, for instance, while Lemmy’s guitar forums are small and barely used.

On the other hand, the political subs are far more radical, and allow real discussion of political options more than Reddit. They are not doing themselves a service by suppressing radical speech over there, they are only driving it underground, where it will become even more radical. When it happens they’ll be surprised because they buried it instead of addressing it.

Drag’s banned from Reddit

No, but I’m banned from:

• r/republican for asking if they have ever heard about besieged fortress syndrome
• r/twoXchromosomes for telling a mod that she’s bullying a person who disagreed with her in a discussion about abuse - like an abuser would (the mod was trying to rally other people into joining her into cyberbulling)
• r/menslib for writing that being a victim is not an excuse in a thread about a 20-something yo woman grooming young girls into porn (she herself too was groomed).
• some political ones for “hate speech against Russians” - for cursing them and their invasion of Ukraine.

I think so? I used to browse the site over breakfast, and one morning, Apollo couldn’t connect. I don’t want to cause trouble by trying to log in, if I’m banned, so I have not tried to log in another way.
