cuz i was banned from reddit
- Reddit - banned
- Imgur - banned
- Reddit again - banned
- ttrpg.network - banned
- lemmy.zip - banned
there’s more. I’m pretty proud tbh. both Reddit and imgur I was banned because I told Nazis to kill themselves. and any time I get permabanned from a lemmy domain is usually because I pissed off some snowflake and they made some shit up to ban me.
I moved when they broke Apollo. I hate the website and the official app. I use Voyager on iOS for lemmy because it’s so similar to Apollo.
Reddit has been taken over by Ai bots and banned all humans
If you got banned not from a sub of Reddit but all of Reddit then that’s on you.
I disagree. They ban for trumped-up reasons and being banned from 2 seperate subs makes you susceptible to just having your account banned from all of reddit temporarily.
There is NO human to appeal to in the ban process and sometimes no explanation of why you got banned.
Reddit use outrageous tracking techniques to try and detect stuff like multiple account usage and manually upvoting the same stuff with 2 accounts.
They seem to have made it illegal to have more than one account, but haven’t announced this anywhere. If they don’t want people to accidentally break their rules they need to make account formation harder, perhaps tie it to a phone number or wait for approval.
They’re also dishing out bans for being pro-Palestine now, which might be why some fediverse instances like PieFed have/had a Palestine flag in their logo.
If you got banned once, then it’s probably Reddit being a moron.
If you got banned twice, then it’s still probably Reddit being a moron.
But if you got banned thrice, then the problem is you.
Same idea as the “If everyone in the room is an asshole, then the asshole is probably you.”
They killed the third party app I used and the dev migrated it to Lemmy
The Reddit app was (and probably still is) a horrendous cacophony of dark patterns, so Reddit died that day for me because there was no longer a way for me to use it on my phone that wouldn’t give me an aneurism
Leaving reddit (usa boycot was half the decission)
I left when they banned 3rd party apps, like many others. I never actually used 3rd party apps btw, however I could sense Reddit was about to go downhill, and I had been meaning to leave for a while - the straw that broke the camel’s back. And I guess my suspicions were bang on correct.
me too. i didn’t fully leave reddit until they started putting ads in between comments tho.
Got banned from reddit for telling someone to crawl back into their hole (which is apparently a euphemism for telling someone to kill themselves???) for defending circumcision while saying female genital mutilation was unacceptable.
They thought mutilating baby penises was fine but not baby vaginas. So I called out the hypocrisy and told them to “crawl back into [their] hole”.
Been here ever since.
It’s still one of the cultural norms I don’t fully understand why it’s lasted as a practice for so long. I would have thought that it would become a rare practice by 2020. Nope. That being said, I have noticed an uptick of ‘people’ online voicing their disapproval of any baby mutilation.
Standing up for men seems to be a sore spot for the admins.
I got banned sitewide for reporting egregious misandry of the “kill all men” sort.
To share my erotic fiction because the reddit mods banned it !!
They are such fascists over there. Seriously.
“Too hot for reddit” is a pretty good tagline though!
When reddit said they are disabling 3rd party apps was when I heard about it but was small and still on reddit, in the meantime I found mastodon and used reddit and I found about “buy european” so I started going on Lemmy. Now I am permabanned from reddit for posting on r/lies
Reddit killed “rif is reddit is fun for reddit” or whatever it was called
This right fucking here. Never forget. o7
A bit before the API thing actually went into effect. I saw it mentioned somewhere on Reddit, got curious, and signed up. I mainly browsed Reddit through my web browser, so the lack of 3rd party clients wouldn’t have really effected me, but seeing how Reddit was acting towards its users, there was no going back for me.
Same as everyone else, I came over with the API refugees. I still lurk on Reddit using Brave (that and YT are the only things I use Brave for) because some communities there are still good fountains of information. I don’t post or vote on anything there, though.
Still have Apollo on my phone though.
Cause they killed my favorite 3rd party app and then banned every account I had except one for “report abuse” (I reported too many ads disguised as posts as spam).
