    Not banned. I chose Lemmy because I’m a big believer in the ideas of the fediverse and I want it to succeed.

    I do still have to use Reddit occasionally to look up info that hasn’t made it here yet, but I don’t post or comment there.

    Last time I tried to make an account it was instantly shadow banned. Maybe they don’t like my email address, who knows. It’s kind of a dump over there anyway

    I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.

    Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.

    Banned from reddit for calling violence on Musk.

    Frankly, I’m not impressed with Lemmy either, especially because personal interests are just so much harder to find engagement on.

    So, whatever that answer amounts to.

    Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

    I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

    Just like Lemmy more. Reddit has become to enshittified for me to use it anymore, except for some niche stuff due of Reddit’s larger traffic volume.

    Banned across all accounts

    I said “bad bot” to a nazi apologist, and apparently that’s “violence”

    It’s a shame. I had quite a cult following for my “performance art”

    Well, Reddit was a bunch of Democrats circlejerking each other for Internet points to benefit a massive corporation, whereas Lemmy is a bunch of Democrats circlejerking each other for internet points.

    So… I guess I like both because it helps reinforce that all social media is a waste of time and a blight on society and culture as a whole
