    Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

    Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

    Not banned. I chose Lemmy because I’m a big believer in the ideas of the fediverse and I want it to succeed.

    I do still have to use Reddit occasionally to look up info that hasn’t made it here yet, but I don’t post or comment there.

      Same. Also removed what content I had put there, to the extent that I could. Account is still there.

    I was the primary mod/founder for a fairly large subreddit. During the blackout protests Reddit threatened to remove my mod rights if I didn’t reopen the subreddit. I told them to get fucked, and my account was banned. They also removed the other mods and installed new mods. I haven’t touched the platform since and will never use Reddit again.

      I also privated some communities and they renamed them to some random characters instead.

      hence the powermods, im guessing thats how 92 mods consildated thier power and control over 500+ subs. you can hazard a guess of which subs are being control by these groups.

      Yep. Not to mentioned permanently AI astroturfed, and the politics went full on hard authoritarian and Zionist.

      I used to mod 2 communities with over 300k members.

    I’m banned on enough accounts they auto ban me when I make new ones. I went off the rails on a lot of political topics. I never threatened anyone, but I did wish them unspecified harms, use the words of naughtiness, and made myself a target of a few pro Trump mods and that was it. Anyway, I’m fine here, I also didn’t start using this until years after the ban so, not very related.

      Yea i usually created new accounts, or made accounts just in case one gets banned on too many subs, the new one i just avoid the subs i was banned in. but this time once they banned people for anything, even if its temp they just rout all your connected accounts. Oh and they do shadownban people if you make another account if your previous accounts were sitewide banned or shadow banned. i think the shadowbanning is alittle worst than the outright site-wide bans. i was visiting the “shadowban sub” recently and people are getitng the axe the moment they create an account.

    Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲

    My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.

    I left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn’t use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from /r/DaystromInstitute to startrek.website.

      some subs are actually owned by former and current LEO, it make sense. the most famous one being legal advice, and i suspect almost all the video subs are owned by them(the ones usually do with crime related videos)

    I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I’m not banned but I might as well be.

    I still have my reddit account for niche stuff, but I overwrote all my comments with gibberish so they couldn’t use my words to train anything. I could definitely give up my reddit if push came to shove.

      I crosspost what I can from .ml comms to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm as part of ongoing efforts to boycott and reduce .ml’s influence on the wider Lemmy-verse because of the Tankie ideology the admin team of that instance enforce through censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes and allowing known propaganda outlets (such as RT) to fester (see !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for what evidence and documentation has been gathered thus far)

      That being said, everything else I crosspost is still visible as a crosspost via the crosspost icon that shows on posts.

      Text posts like this are tricky since there’s no URL for the crosspost system to track and I don’t want to leave the link in place because that would make things too easy and possibly work in counter to my efforts. So to that end, I feel tagging the user is sufficient credit. People still know it’s some form of a crosspost, I’m not the OOP, and they know the name of the OOP should they really want to go to the original post

  • @Usernameblankface@lemmy.world

    I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.

    Banned across all accounts

    I said “bad bot” to a nazi apologist, and apparently that’s “violence”

    It’s a shame. I had quite a cult following for my “performance art”
