I just came back from a 3 day ban. I was warned before. In the 10+ years I’ve been on reddit this has never happened to me. But whatever. Lemmy is a great alternative.

got permed for suggesting that the time to protest is now, before protesting becomes illegal and prosucetable und law lol
I said fascists should die. In more ways than one.
The censorship on reddit is insane, I can't even post this picture there !
Reddit's AI report processing is terrible. I got permed for advocating violence, discussing a completely hypothetical self-defense situation in the passive voice. Literally anyone with a brain cell would have understood it was not advocating violence.
I just recently found out Reddit has achievements. I don't use their official apps or new desktop so I never saw them. When I see what Reddit looks like to most people it is so bizarre. Like completely different experience.
Thank goodness Lemmy looks and feels the way it should.
I recently deleted my active, 16-year-old, account after being told I was inciting violence simply by commenting that a particular GOP senator had himself to blame for an issue he was trying to pin on others.
I hope I'm not the only one in here who nuked my Reddit account voluntarily after they started ramping up censorship.
Basically, I saw what was coming and bailed off that site while I was still ahead.
Reddit censorship is out of control. I got a warning about ‘violence’ today. My crime? I reported that the guy who is currently spamming every Australian mobile phone with messages about out the ridiculous Trumpet of patriots party is getting spammed back. I said “couldn’t happen to a nicer fascist”. Ffs.
Do they really nag for streaks? Damn, it's sadder than I thought...
My tech support acc has an even funnier one but I only saw it after posting.
They're banning all humans
I'm permanently reddit band there for I am.
r/place 2025
They're ever so annoying for pointing out the truth.
They keep sending me emails trying to get me to come back and I'm like "Unban my fucking account and I'll think about it."
My ban was for "Abusing the report system"
ie: Using it at all
My account just got suspended for mocking JD Vance in a joke thread. I appealed and got a permaban in response.
Mine was suspended for bullying or some shit because I told Mrs Guyliner to get fucked when she was taking her little vacation to Greenland
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
Reddit simply doesn't want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.
they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now, much more aggressively like with the ban purgews. they following FB model, which is AI generated rw content.
they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now
Way more than months. This goes at least as far back as the 2016 kerfuffle over The_Donald, ChapoTrapHouse, and other increasingly popular outside-the-mainstream communities.
Honestly easier to trace it back to 2012, when Reddit was gaining popular steam and doing lots of high profile AMAs. Shadowbanning was a great way to quash the mix of spam accounts and hecklers without letting the people running the accounts know they needed to roll up new ones.
Soon a rebrand to Redbot.com
You can't even play Nintendo these days
It's because they are sadistic, corporate bastards that need to be taken down! All corporate bastards need to be taken down.
We don't need corporations, we need all volunteer, donation-funded organizations.
Coops for the win!
Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?
Lelelelelelllll <3
Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.
You still get banned here too. The mods can disagree politically and just ban you as they can on reddit.
Theres like, a little bit more transparency with the modlog
Yeah but at least the platform is decentralised meaning you can still move your stuff to a better instance.
On reddit you can do no such thing. Lemmy is definitely not perfect but still miles better than reddit.
So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase 'burn it all down' entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn't like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.
I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I'd like to roast marshmallows over that fire.
I got banned from tik tok for saying that on day two of a US invasion into Canada, I would burn down their orange house. Of course, I was replying to an American saying we would be soft and easy to take over.
Less dumping ground and more release valve. The people Reddit is jettisoning are many of their more active and prodigious content creators and contributors. The site admins simply don't want new human content anymore. They want passive observers who will consume advertisement content without creating drama.
Yes it's how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn't turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope
Honestly that's how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let's be real, Lemmy doesn't have as much content or user interaction.
It's allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities
If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.
Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let's encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?
You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don't stop now!
