Reddit

Every long term reddit bans and/or alienates and comes to lemmy, benefits us all. Welcome!

I’m here because r/pics bots are assholes and mods don’t reply to asking why they banned you, the auto ban says I was banned because at some point in my many years I commented on a subreddit they didn’t like. I carried on just fine, but when I was browsing one day with a different account I commented on another r/pics post and now both accounts are banned for 7 days for ban evasion. The bots still never told me what to do about it to fix it and they denied my appeal, so fuck em.

Deleted that app, and all my other social media apps, Facebook, instagram, x, Reddit, threads, etc. im tired of arguing with all the bots. But I need something to still be able to scroll, so here I am.

The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there's plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

If you're the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there's no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren't finding them on lemmy.world.

I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you're coming from.

bring your subs, bring your friends!

I got permabanned during the women's March for cheering on the March posters and such. I started and admined the /keitruck sub reddit. I also had some other subreddits that weren't as big. Keitruck is pretty small though. All that work for nothing. So I didn't fight the ban, just moved here. Good move! Now I only go to reddit from accidentally clicking on web searches. Who knows WTF is going on.

I think there is a very simple solution to all your problems with reddit...

They’re finniky bastards.

Did you also get troll reported to that automated help response for people that may be contemplating self harm?

That was always a good time. Man, I miss Reddit so much...

Hello

Welcome to Lemmy! If you find it's not quite you your liking, there is also Mbin which is sort of similar but has some significant differences too.

Personally, I like them both and they're both federated.

If you wanted to check it out, https://fedia.io/ is the more popular instance.

Should something like this ever happen to me, I'll be happy to leave Reddit behind. Right now I'm still looking to promote Lemmy.

I switched to Lemmy after r/news banned me for obvious hyperbole. Reddit used to be a place where dark humor in the face of absurd events was allowed. I'm not even sure if Lemmy is any better, but I've had all of the humor and interest in life beat out of me now, so I guess I'll be okay.

The free market works in mysterious ways.

Welcome soldier!
