i need to know
Got sick of seeing the same anger farming shit every day, then found out about the luigi censorship and just left. Honestly best choice. I’m enjoying lemmy so far, and the control I have over my experience.
I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.
For someone saying karma doesn’t mean anything you’re sure farming lots of it! Making good comments and shit worthy of upvotes! You’re quite a terrible hypocrite!
Ironically (though it’s hard to tell) I think their profile picture may be Hypocrites.
But obv the smartest most helpful ppl on any given topic have old reddit accounts with a lot of karma so they can post? That prob killed amas too, celebs prob didnt have enough karma to make a post

Banning people from the internet isn’t a thing, despite the drama around it.
Reddit is banned from me.
I’LL START MY OWN REDDIT!
WITH HOOKERS AND BLACKJACK!Lemmynsfw has a few sex workers, some of whom might not mind being called hookers I suppose. I’m not sure what community has blackjack.
Edit: Yes, I’m aware that it’s a Futurama quote.
A blackjack bot wouldn’t be too hard to write.
Yes.
Nope, not banned, chose to leave. Realized most of my anxiety and fear were due to Reddit’s algorithm amping up my issues.
Was banned from a couple of subs for promoting Lemmy though.
it doesnt get talked about enough how bad reddit is for your mental health, glad you got out 🙏
very much so! lemmy has been a godsend for me.
i knew i was too weak to avoid reddit; so i tried to get them to ban me by breaking all of the rules and they wouldn’t.
so i setup a blacklist in my own dns w an 8 hour timeout and a 30 minute window to force myself to stay away.
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.

I have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that’s the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again
Found Lemmy during the API protest and ditched reddit. I’ve been meaning to go back to reddit and get banned over the whole crazy censorship thing, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.
Yes I’m permanently fingerprint/IP banned as of last year.
I posted anti-Isreal comments on one of the largest default subreddits, which perma banned me. Whenever I browsed through the front page and commented in that subreddit on my other accounts because I forgot I was banned there, all of my accounts were banned for ban evasion. This happened twice and then I was perma-ed.
For context I used and contributed to the site regularly since Digg without much issue or any bans
I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media
Just left during the API thing. I’ve rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it’s minutes a month if that much.
Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.
I’m permanently banned from Reddit. I don’t like Lemmy nearly as much, but it’s probably just that I’m less familiar and haven’t figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there’s the obvious moderator issues with Reddit - mainly that I’m banned.
I don’t get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.
I still read the same things I used to…there’s just a red banner indicating that I’m banned, and I can’t comment. Since they banned me, I’d be happy to leave entirely, if I found the same variety of content. That might be here, but I’m simply not that familiar with Lemmy and how it’s set up, and have too much on my plate with other commitments to spend much time investigating, especially when I only have a few minutes to kill, and know what I want to read or see.
They ip ban you if you do that because they consider it ban evasion I believe
If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That’s how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don’t have a static IP address.
i agree, my ban is also a clear example of their bad moderation ong 🙏
Yep.
discover I’m banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules
message mods to ask why, receive no response
ok, whatever, I’ll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on
permabanned for ban evasion
I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I’m realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I’m noticing that it wasn’t that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.
I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.
I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn’t good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.
But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.
