    I got banned for apparently trying to circumnavigate a ban, despite not being banned, so I found something better

    I’m still on both. Here for all of the political stuff and and anti-Reddit post and on Reddit I’m still in the subreddits that aren’t on here yet. Mainly a lot of crafting related stuff. And whenever someone complains about censorship on Reddit I respond with Lemmy as a suggestion. If I get banned I get banned. We’ll see.

    Don’t care either way. I came because it really seemed like reddit was becoming a terrible place. The arbitrary banning and increasing warnings on restricting content made it time to go. I’m just grateful that lemmy is an alternative that (so far) seems to capture the spirit of original reddit, without all the increasing b.s.

    I just hope that I become as comfortable with lemmy as I did with the reddit app. I hated switching from Comet to the reddit app. But, I got used to the reddit app, so I’m sure I will with lemmy. It’s nice to have 75% of reddit, but a nice 3rd party app to use again. I’m new and learning!

    I left back in 2023; didn’t do anything besides purging my posts and comments and deleting my account. No sense doing anything spectacular, you’re just wasting your own time and causing more overall engagement on the platform. Though I suppose posting about the fediverse wouldn’t be the worst idea.

    If I wanted to be noticed, I’d go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.

    I made some good content on Reddit that I’m actually proud of and would like to remain up, so I’m not too excited about doing something spectacular to get banned.

      Oh, I operate differently. I’m providing free content, good or bad, end of day I don’t reap the benefit. Even just engaging people in discussion helps the platform move along. So anything I contribute would be equally suited for the garbage can.

      One man’s trash and all that…

        I can certain only respect that opinion. I’d certainly like to port my stuff over here and delete it from reddit, but the community I would put it in doesn’t exist on Lemmy.

        I’d create the place here, but I am for sure not a good person to run an online community. I’m thin skinned and don’t suffer fools gladly. That’s the kind of moderator people generally hate.

          I’m sure you could port it over and look for mods. Right now lots of the small communities are stuck in a sort of hypersleep. If things ever picked up you could pass the mod hat.

    I didn’t do much, but I did tell the admins they’re useless pieces of human garbage and I can’t wait for that platform to go under. I was terminally addicted to reddit and was on it probably 8 hours a day. They’ll start noticing when a large chunk of their population drops off for other networks. I don’t really care if they know I left or not. I left because of my own reasons.

    PSA: delete your account!

    being banned is funny and stuff, but reddit can, has and will unban accounts to inflate their user count for their investors.

    delete every account, post and comment if you can.

        i dont know, i dont think so (without a user asking them to?). i think it would be less trouble for them to just create new accounts on their own. same result, but nobody can claim that their deleted account was restored. i think restoring deleted accounts could lead to legal trouble?
