i need to know
I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit’s organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc)Neither.
Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.
I’m still using both, but I’m sure with the changes in administration I’ll be getting banned soon. I already got a warning for saying that self-declared kings are liable to self-declared regicide
I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.
Saw one mod in a sub bragging about how they banned lots of users for challenging a post and they were getting cheered on. Wonder if that is in line with reddit’s policy?
How can you circumvent a reddit ban?
You don’t, you wait it out until they stop blocking that IP or email. New account.
Okay cool. Is that about a year or two for them to stop blocking it?
If you create multiple accounts they will shadowban you even. More. The best is to wait a while before creating a new one, use different devices, browsers if possible a different IP ,like a cafe or library. The more they catch, you the easier they can ban your newly created accounts faster
I waited about 6 months and I’m using the same email and devices. It felt like I had a temp shadowban when I was back on but after about 2 months that seems to have gone away.
I avoid getting pulled into fights now by blocking users and subreddits that are obnoxious.
The main reason I want to be back on reddit is some repeatedly keeps claiming on of my favorite local restaurants has bland food and doesn’t use enough salt. In actually though the restaurant uses a little bit too much salt.
Really want to tell them they are a moron.
Permabanned but I do like it here
The only thing is I hope it grows so there is more non political content.
Yeah that would great
I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments
Just like lemmy more.
I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.
I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don’t need reddit.
Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there’s less content so I don’t scroll as much.
I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this “I had 1500 karma coins” or whatever)
What did the karma coins actually do? Never understood that part of Reddit.
Both
