Genuinely curious
My 20 year account got banned for using Apollo sideloaded. I still go there but let’s be honest, lemmy has far better memes
Buddy I’m shadowbanned from LEMMY
I left because they got rid of 3rd party apps, was never banned.
I deleted my account and left reddit after it turned into nothing but bots and frothing at the mouth fash. Redditurds really love looking for any excuse they can find to use slurs.
I checked lemmy out a bit just before I got permabanned for pointing out that calling Russians “ork” is extremely racist and dehumanizing.
Based
Me. I didn’t even do anything really wrong, accidently posted to a subreddit on one account after getting banned with another account. I didn’t even realize I had posted on it 1xs before from another account. Then on the space of about 2 hours ago in accounts were IP banned. Even my business account. I was very pissed because I didn’t even post anything that controversial to get banned, but that healthcare industries should not be able to denied coverage. But that was “political” and they banned me from that subreddit. I had like 8 accounts and forgot all about the ban. Made some simple comment accidentally and BAM IP banned.
Not today, spez
I use this site because the community is genuinely better and reminds of me reddit from the early days. Reddit bans are easy to get around
Yes reddit bans are easy to get around but ugh the karma maxxing just to enter old communities you where in
Ii was banned for saying old people call people who go to therapy “f_____”, i am not homophobic, matter of fact it wasn’t even in english, i used a word with much lighter connotation in my own language.
Some weeks before the fact i said that certain presidents of a certain country would end like Saddam Hussein if UN was serious.
I don’t use it as much but most of the engagement posts are run by bots. I stick to discord a little more. Feels more transparent and you need an invite.
You gonna still use it after they require face recognition
You mean discord? Probably move to telegram then.
I feel like the way the question is phrased is going to select for people who were banned. Personally I wasn’t but saw the upcoming IPO and wanted to dip before the platform was totally enshittified.
I got permabanned for wishing death on billionaires too many times.
For anyone who still wants to access Reddit just to browse favorite (niche) subs which won’t ever get traction here, some third-party apps still work.
My favorite is cygnusx’s Slide for Reddit fork (they picked it up after it was abandoned). You can use it logger in or anonymously - without an account logged in:
https://github.com/cygnusx-1-org/Slide
^ you can see my Slide app with the frontpage showing regular subs, and it doesn’t use the dumb new reddit algorithm which shows you posts from like a week ago.
The other option is Morphe who patch the official Reddit app. It will require an account but you can change a heap of things, block everything you dislike too. The patching app does YouTube and YouTube Music or whatever they call it, but it also patches Reddit:
^ here’s an example of some of the things you can change in a Morphe patched Reddit’s settings
Also sorry for the pictures, I wrote and uploaded this while steaming milk for my coffee!
ive been on lemmy for almost 6 years, jesus christ, i feel old
I joined hexbear almost 4 years ago after being banned for suggesting a that a brick would be a far cheaper solution than a guillotine for dealing with the British royal family.
