    Don’t care either way. I came because it really seemed like reddit was becoming a terrible place. The arbitrary banning and increasing warnings on restricting content made it time to go. I’m just grateful that lemmy is an alternative that (so far) seems to capture the spirit of original reddit, without all the increasing b.s.

    I just hope that I become as comfortable with lemmy as I did with the reddit app. I hated switching from Comet to the reddit app. But, I got used to the reddit app, so I’m sure I will with lemmy. It’s nice to have 75% of reddit, but a nice 3rd party app to use again. I’m new and learning!

    PSA: delete your account!

    being banned is funny and stuff, but reddit can, has and will unban accounts to inflate their user count for their investors.

    delete every account, post and comment if you can.

    I got banned for apparently trying to circumnavigate a ban, despite not being banned, so I found something better

      Sir, how dare you circumvent your ban. I silenced you, or someone like you, or just I don’t really know because I’m relying on incomplete data to determine who was banned and who you are. You’re ban stands and if you or anyone like you trys to circumvent it, I’ll have their heads!

        Darn it… I hope I don’t get banned again, even though I’m permanently banned from reddit

    I’m still on both. Here for all of the political stuff and and anti-Reddit post and on Reddit I’m still in the subreddits that aren’t on here yet. Mainly a lot of crafting related stuff. And whenever someone complains about censorship on Reddit I respond with Lemmy as a suggestion. If I get banned I get banned. We’ll see.

      I seem to be in the same category as you regarding a few groups that get no traction on Lemmy. Do you have any idea how they handled mentioning Lemmy in a comment? I would think it would be worse if you mentioned it in a post

      I think someone runs a crosspost bot that can copy a subreddit to here. I don’t recall who though. Might be a good solution to the missing technical/niche subreddits on lemmy.

        The lemmit.online instance exists, but it’s utility is limited without a two-way bridge for comments. It’s effectively just like a crowdsourced RSS feed.

    I didn’t do much, but I did tell the admins they’re useless pieces of human garbage and I can’t wait for that platform to go under. I was terminally addicted to reddit and was on it probably 8 hours a day. They’ll start noticing when a large chunk of their population drops off for other networks. I don’t really care if they know I left or not. I left because of my own reasons.

      dont get banned, just delete your account. reddit is notorious in unbanning people to inflate their user count to investors.

      I did start to think I must be shadow banned, or I’m just really dull and nobody cared enough to reply to what I wrote
