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.
Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.
