Ask Lemmy

Shadow banned due to automatic filter

After my fourth or fifth perma ,, I decided Reddit was probably not for me .

I left during the API bullshit and never looked back.

Me, I got banned. I still used RIF until it died just to read Reddit, but once that was over I was done.

I lived through Livejournal choosing to destroy itself and saw Reddit doing the same things and worse and walked away. Choosing short term profits over people makes me NOPE out. No bans or warnings for me. I guess I just don't type "dangerous" stuff even though I consider myself pretty opinionated.

Got a few accounts banned there. It became for increasingly ridiculous reasons over time, so I decided after getting perma-banned for saying I hope trump strokes out from some condition he was said to have (blood pooling in his cankles), I decided the catering to the Maga pigs was too much - apparently saying you hope someone's condition worsens is "violence" now. Another was banned from a local subreddit for throwing out the idea of removing valve cores from the tires of ICE vehicles to slow them down. Insane. Done with that horseshit, the censorship has become out of fucking control there.

I got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven't really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?

I'm just making a comeback after some time. Reddit is dead, there is bots and ads and AI everywhere.

I still use both but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Been making political posts on Reddit for a while now & I'm convinced the mods of r/meme will perma ban me after my temp ban is lifted. Can't speak the truth even if it gets millions of views.

Yup. Then I forgot what community I was on and had to start over again.

Became initially during the API 3rd party bullshit and recently moved completely over after I got banned from Reddit.

Came here during the API changes. Still salty about it.

I gotta say though, that as much as I wish Lemmy was a viable alternative in every way, Reddit is unfortunately still the place to be for a lot of useful info and discussion. Granted, there's also a lot of crap. But Lemmy is just not big enough to replace Reddit in every way.

I quit commenting at that site long ago but still lurk occaisionally in some technical sr's. It became too mean.

Banned twice. They don't much like when I call for throwing bricks at cops.

Me, arbitrary ass ban while using an alt trying to gain karma on the front page so I could post with it, my first comment insta banned all accounts permanently because I guess I was banned from that sub on my main/og account.

I use both because Reddit done screwed over my preferred mobile platform. So now I use Lemmy on mobile and Reddit on the desktop

I got banned while on a work trip to the United States. I hadn't posted at the time for more than a year.

I requested my post history from them and posted it up publicly to see if anyone could figure out why, I've still got no idea.

There's a link to my post history in a previous winge about it https://lemmy.nz/post/2224688/2959801.

Jumped ship when that API shit started. I like this communities way more than a lot ob subreddits that have been around before.

First I was temporarily banned. Then, permanently banned. They would not even display the comments in question which led to my exile. Toxic power tripping MF’s all up in it over there.

Two years ago. Haven't looked back. Much

I see a lot more banned users and deleted comments on lemmy than I did on reddit.

Took away my subreddits that I created with cumulative 200k+ subscribers and perma-banned me for a fake reason (using alternate account to evade subreddit ban).

Never again.

I got banned from one of my favorite subreddits, which made it a lot less fun over there.

raises hand

Came to Mastodon when Elon nabbed Twitter, came to Lemmy when the Reddit apps got stuffed. (Well, I originally got on Kbin, not Lemmy.)

Arrived here in the process of USA boycott.

I got banned from reddit and then i got banned here
