So, I’ve now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They’ve linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can’t even say ‘I like that player two energy on super Mario bros’, because that’s ‘violent’.

I’ve posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying ‘Elon simps in our midst’ referring to mods…who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

    Welcome! I’ve been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.

    Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

    Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.

      I think it’s more to do with community size. It’s much easier to have non-anonymous interactions on Lemmy than Reddit. You’ll probably see less of that vibe as Lemmy scales. Though, tbh, I always found Reddit to be way more dogmatic, sensitive, and above all, dramatic and performative than Lemmy.

      Reddit’s like the Huffington Post of social media, which I guess makes Facebook Breitbart.

      Funny you say that, in another comment I tell how that was the first time I got in shit on reddit. And I said it a lot in that era.

    Welcome, there hasn’t been a better time than now in a while.

    Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit’s CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.

    So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.

      They don’t.

      How do I know? I got banned for arguing with a pedo apologist and telling him to go fuck himself. He replied to a comment and then blocked me so that it would seem like I was droppping off of the convo. I edited my last reply to call him out, and bam. Reddit perma-bans me for 'continuing to harass a user who had already blocked you’.

      The only way to get rid of your posts and comments so that reddit doesn’t benefit from them is to delete your account.

          Yup. The ban just prohibits you from engaging with communities. Like, you can’t post, comment, or upvote. You still have access to your account and feed. So, you can choose to delete it. And I think you should be able to delete individual posts/comments too, though I didn’t try that myself since I decided to just nuke my account.

      Only Lemmy sucks itself off this hard all the time

      These replies prove it: nobody performs autofellatio quite like someone who recently discovered that social media platforms other than Twitter/Facebook/Reddit exist. The users of this platform are largely identical to the users of reddit. The biggest difference is that I’m told to kill myself far more often here

          I just really don’t like the arrogant, self-congratulatory tone some users of this platform have. We’re just all so much better and smarter and cooler than those dumbass redditors, and all we had to do was sign up for a different social media platform

            Some people that get banned correctly on reddit make it here on lemmy sadly, like you

              What makes you think I’ve been banned from Reddit? The fact that I don’t like the superiority complex lemmings have about our relatively tiny social network?

              ETA: Not all of us were correctly banned from Reddit for abusing the report system. I have a perfectly functional Reddit account, and I choose to spend my time here because it’s a better platform. I just don’t like to cum in my own mouth about it

        Most groups suck themselves off about how awesome they are compared to alternate groups in the same genre. Hardstyle vs Progressive trance. BJJ vs Wrestling. Ford vs Holden cars. etc.\

          I feel like the trance disagreement is closest to lemmy vs reddit because the disagreement is on principal largely and the end result is pretty similar for a typical, disinterested end user.
