I left because they got rid of 3rd party apps, was never banned.

I got banned twice and decided to just give up.

I was temp banned from reddit for honestly I forgot why (something to do with me being antizionist), I realized I was gonna get banned anyway so I deleted my account and left on my own terms.

My account of like 20 years got banned and I never received any reason why.. still to this day have no idea. no messages or anything. I tried making a few more accounts but was using alias emails and VPNs and such and they all got banned. After that I figured why do I try to hard if they don't want me so I jumped ship...

never looked back

banned from reddit for "threatening to kill reddit staff". the post: pedophiles should be executed.

it's very telling.

I used it before, but got banned by Reddit a couple of months ago for a genuinely ridiculous post. My account was 14byears old. I couldn't care less about being banned. The place has been a burning dumpster fire for the last few years. If they want to implode that's their business.

I've never been banned from reddit (that I know of).

I left reddit three years ago next month duringsthe API drama. Since then the only time I've been to reddit (not logged in) is when it comes up in a search result.

I was never banned. I left recently because the app got updated to keep sound on ads always on, even if you turned them off, the next time you used the app, the sound was back on.

This happened a few times to me and I deleted the app

Not banned yet, but they recently removed my API key I was using to work with sideloaded Apollo. I'm now using an alternative method again, but I wonder when they'll just end up banning all users trying to keep Apollo alive?

Buddy I'm shadowbanned from LEMMY

I've been through so many reddit handles. Some are banned in /r/politics, some in other subs. There's no reason to it.

I used Reddit for years as a reader without ever posting or commenting. When alternative front ends were ditched, I switched to Lemmy which I really like. Was never banned.

I had 4 accounts and they banned all of them for inciting violence. I said Donald Trump is a pedophile and deserves to be in prison.

They don't like anti trump people.

Shadow banned, never knew why, not even moderators, and never got an answer, so I figured it was better to just leave the place to somewhere with more humans at the helm

For anyone who still wants to access Reddit just to browse favorite (niche) subs which won't ever get traction here, some third-party apps still work.

My favorite is cygnusx's Slide for Reddit fork (they picked it up after it was abandoned). You can use it logger in or anonymously - without an account logged in:

https://github.com/cygnusx-1-org/Slide

^ you can see my Slide app with the frontpage showing regular subs, and it doesn't use the dumb new reddit algorithm which shows you posts from like a week ago.

The other option is Morphe who patch the official Reddit app. It will require an account but you can change a heap of things, block everything you dislike too. The patching app does YouTube and YouTube Music or whatever they call it, but it also patches Reddit:

^ here's an example of some of the things you can change in a Morphe patched Reddit's settings

Also sorry for the pictures, I wrote and uploaded this while steaming milk for my coffee!

I left 3 years ago, when they killed RiF

I got permabanned for wishing death on billionaires too many times.

I have been a Reddit user for 15yrs and got banned 48hrs ago for for suggesting that some dog owners should die because of their deliberate inbreeding to create dogs with traits that are ultimately bad for their health.

For context I am in the UK and we have a deeply ingrained love for dogs over here so seeing a picture of some Americans that are gushing over their inbred dogs made me angry and emotional.

I hadn't been. I just wanted an open-source alternative; as with all aspects of my life.

Im not currently banned, but they banned me for a bit for using the word revolution when referencing what America needs.

They also gave away user data to DHS cause they asked.

So. Yeah.

I feel like the way the question is phrased is going to select for people who were banned. Personally I wasn't but saw the upcoming IPO and wanted to dip before the platform was totally enshittified.

I use this site because the community is genuinely better and reminds of me reddit from the early days. Reddit bans are easy to get around

I've had so many handles banned from reddit that I lost count after 30 or so.

fuck 'em.

Why are new lemmy users thinking this is a refuge for the reddit banned? To my knowledge my account is still usable, but I just don't want to log in since the API cash grab. What bullshit is reddit doing these days?

Neither, but I'm fed up with Reddit regardless. Open Source and self hosted is something I prefer.

And if everybody praises the alternatives, but nobody is using it, we'll never get shit done.

When they closed down the API for third party apps I packed my things, I thought reddit would be different, but to me, at that moment they proved they were not different.

Lemmy is not perfect and the whole dev team has some pretty insane views. But you know, it's FOSS, so it's not about the devs as much. Perfect is the enemy of great, and Lemmy is a healthier choice then Reddit imo.

Not today, spez

My 20 year account got banned for using Apollo sideloaded. I still go there but let’s be honest, lemmy has far better memes

Ii was banned for saying old people call people who go to therapy "f_____", i am not homophobic, matter of fact it wasn't even in english, i used a word with much lighter connotation in my own language.

Some weeks before the fact i said that certain presidents of a certain country would end like Saddam Hussein if UN was serious and wasn't able to use Reddit for 3 or 2 days

Nah, i left when they killed whatever mobile app i was using to not have to deal with their shitty website

I don't use it as much but most of the engagement posts are run by bots. I stick to discord a little more. Feels more transparent and you need an invite.
