    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 had numerous accounts, some throwbacks going back 11+years, almost all were purged in feb12-13, due to them trying to eliminate and astroturfing any anti-right wing talking points. now they are assuming almost anyone is a bot. and the last one i thought was safe, was just shadowbanned recently

      It’s damn bullshit, you write something in Reddit, the stupid system thinks you’re a bot and bans you… good luck appealing this shit, you’ll be sitting there for months begging for a unban. Screw these lazy assholes.

    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 also privated some communities and they renamed them to some random characters instead.

      hence the powermods, im guessing thats how 92 mods consildated thier power and control over 500+ subs. you can hazard a guess of which subs are being control by these groups.

    Haven’t been on there in like 10 years, glad all of you finally saw the light. Sad it requires being forced off though.

    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 did the same when the API changes were introduced and my app didn’t work anymore. Open source is the way to go.

    I’m on mbin mostly. The japan-focused subreddits for legal, finance, etc. have so far refused to move. Once they move, I will be done with reddit entirely

    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.

    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.

    My main and my alt still exist on reddit and have enough karma that I was offered stock options on both accounts.

    Not going back because of the API fuckery. Coming up on 2 years on lemmy. Haven’t looked back.

    Reddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.

      sounds like you got shadowbanned to me, when people stop responding to you, or nobody can see your comments thats what happens. you can check your profile while logged out, you know its shadowbanned if its says "cant find this user info:

    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.

    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.
