Yep. Same.
Because I missed the niche that reddit filled and I wasn’t willing to return to reddit or any other corporate, centralised social media/community platform.
Because I got perma banned from Reddit after making a comment that all these ICE losers will never get paid or will get their sign on bonus. And that after 3 years they will be back sucking immigrant cock behind the Wendy’s. Apparently that is violation of rule 1 inciting violence. Which is total BS. Other people post much, much worse and actually death threats. Reddit definitely also bend the knee to the US authoritarian regime and any view other than nazisme is banned.
Anyway lemmy feels a much more positive place here except the formula 1 lemmy. That sub is so incredibly toxic.
Same, broke R1 and the last breaking of it was rather vague link. I just upvoted a comment that made fun of R1 under a post showing child abuse. Turns out that goes under it as well.
You got banned from Reddit for making an upvote? No freaking way
I was on my last warning, maybe they ramp up scrutiny then or they have just ramped it up recently.
But yeah that was the post that was linked when they gave the reason for a ban and It was rather fast as well. Less than few minutes after upvoting. I was still in that thread trying to explain other person what R1 was.

Did you get banned from a subreddit or from the entire Reddit?
Because fuck spez™ and reddit is so large it’s hard to find community
Corporative social media pushed me out, ActivityPub seems a great solution to those problems.
Then Reddit and Communism
Reddit ban for a R1 violation.
Apparently if you say punching a nazi is a form of self-defense they’ll say you’re inciting violence.
Not associating with as many bots.
I finally got banned from Reddit and by now they have rather effective methods to detect ban evasion.
That is sooooo annoying! Like, ok ban my account. But ban ME for ever? Ridiculous. Sincerely hope Reddit dies
I’ve tried to make a couple of anonymous throwaways (for privacy reasons - I’ve never been banned) and they vanish pretty quickly, seemingly as soon as I share a link. Yes, even when not using a VPN.
because centralized social media eventually leads to ads/monetization etc. your content becomes for profit
Someone linked to lemmygrad on r/latestagecapitalism. I looked at both lemmy and lemmygrad (this was pre-federation) and realized that the “hard-coded slur filter” was genius.
I got really sick of rational thought being swept aside to maintain a status quo on Reddit, and looked for alternatives. All of the non-political subs weren’t worth staying.
Because after 12 years on Reddit, and nearly a million Karma, I was permabanned in the post-Inauguration bloodbath.
My feeling toward Lemmy are mixed. I really miss certain non-political subs, like guitar subs, and animal subs. OTOH, the political forums are much livelier on Lemmy, and you don’t have to worry nearly as much about suspensions and bans.
And Reddit was getting flooded with stupid bots, puns, novelty accounts, spam, and Russian Karma Farmers. It would get particularly bad during election years. I bet it’s a mess over there right now, and it’s only going to get worse.
The sex , drugs and rock n roll !
Discovered way to late there was a decentralized version of Reddit and I had to join
Graduating from “leftist” Reddit, I’m afraid.
Gonna glaze the 'grad specifically - on the whole it’s done wonders for my revolutionary optimism and mental health, which in turn has lead to me actually doing some organizing irl.
Finding places full of people who actually know their shit and aren’t swept up into the lies of neoliberalism and capitalism is a major step up from feeling utterly alone and helpless in the imperial core surrounded by people who at times feel utterly alien and unreachable.
Basically just using this space to say thanks for existing, as well as thanks to such incredibly consistent and well-informed posters like yogthos, cfgaussian, cowbee, rainpizza and others for their constant analysis and discussions that have definitely patched up a lot of holes in my own understandings of leftist history and thought.
Thanks for the kind words, comrade! Glad you’re here! 🫡
I’m looking at other people’s reasons for reddit bans and i kinda understand why they were. I dont agree with them, and most of them are stupid and heavy handed and are mean-spirited applications of the letter of a rule while blatantly ignoring the meaning, but they are technically justifiable.
I got banned for saying Genji mains suck.
