Ask Lemmy

Banned on some subs. Mostly just left because I saw it enshittifying.

Both. It's actually funny. Someone posted that image of alternatives to things like Reddit and Whatsapp and Google, etc, and it had Lemmy on it. I was at the point where I was getting sick of Reddit and had one account banned already. I joined Lemmy, and a few days later my other account got banned for up voting a comment that was just the gif of Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. I had already decided I liked Lemmy more at that point, so whatever. The one thing that sucks is that I had my own little sub with a couple thousand members where I posted my writing, and people seemed to like it. I enjoyed sharing my stories with all those weirdos, and now I can't.

I use both. I've attempted to replicate the subreddits I was subscribed to on Lemmy with very limited success. I'm not sure if I just need to subscribe to more instances or if my expectations are off.

I Was banned a while ago for hate speech against cops. I lurk sometimes with libreddit

Left when 3rd party apps were killed, stayed because I believe in the concept of the fediverse.

Still have my Reddit accounts, but just hardly use them. There is still a much larger active user base there for a bunch of stuff so I haven't gone scorched earth yet, but Lemmy is my social media home now.

Wanted to quit Reddit and the censoring of anything critical of Elon game me the impetus.

Last time I tried to make an account it was instantly shadow banned. Maybe they don't like my email address, who knows. It's kind of a dump over there anyway

I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at [email protected] btw

Both. Getting banned from reddit did me a favor, really.

I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I'm not banned but I might as well be.

Not banned. I think it's great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.

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.

Lemmy as a platform speaks to me on a philosophical level when it comes to the kinds of technology I use when I have the choice. I like that it is not at the mercy of the need to turn a profit to exist.

I'm banned on enough accounts they auto ban me when I make new ones. I went off the rails on a lot of political topics. I never threatened anyone, but I did wish them unspecified harms, use the words of naughtiness, and made myself a target of a few pro Trump mods and that was it. Anyway, I'm fine here, I also didn't start using this until years after the ban so, not very related.

I like lemmy's culture more, but I still browse reddit

I never really got into reddit.

Getting in on Lemmy (relatively) early made it feel more specifical so I actually do more than search it for answers

Banned I don't know how to behave online.

I was never on reddit
