Ask Lemmy

Banned I don't know how to behave online.

I've been trying to use Lemmy more for general and political content but I still use Reddit for niche fandoms and hobbies.

unfortunately not banned

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.

reddit is banned in my country (ofc VPN will bypass it) but why bother use more effort if i got something legally available?

Neither, but the hope still remains that Lemmy grows to be better. Right now I just see too many weird takes here, but its the best alternative currently.

I tried to get banned with my last couple posts but they ignored them I guess. Account is still there.

Yes except for niche subs. I visit reddit about once a week now instead of daily. Can't wait for the day to come when I can leave for good.

I like lemmy more because it feels like I get more interaction when I post here. Smaller communities are just better for meaningful discussion.

I'm banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.

With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it's just a read only site for me.

Haven't had a reddit account since ~2015. Saw no value for a long time. Here is different.

I just like Lemmy more

After leaving Reddit due to the whole API scandal, I noticed that that decision was really a wake up call to take a break off the internet. Actually, it made me delete every "traditional" social media application, with the obvious exception of YouTube. I've never felt better. Being addicted to social media for this long can have some pretty serious issues.

Lemmy is pretty great, so much so that it's a part of my username now (it's more of a pseudonym now). In fact, it being small kinda encouraged me to take breaks off the internet. I've had one for like... 2 months perhaps?

Never been banned on reddit but I prefer how there is less of a moderation here for my searing hot takes when I feel like shitposting

Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at asklemmy@lemmy.ml btw
