Banned on some subs. Mostly just left because I saw it enshittifying.

Not yet. I did get a comment removed but successfully appealed for saying what citizens do to kings. The appeal was me saying it was in a historical context, of course ;)
I Was banned a while ago for hate speech against cops. I lurk sometimes with libreddit
some subs are actually owned by former and current LEO, it make sense. the most famous one being legal advice, and i suspect almost all the video subs are owned by them(the ones usually do with crime related videos)
Every time I add a comment or post on reddit, I get banned all the time, I don't even know why, I tried to appeal the ban, but no one gives a shit. Anyway, I like Lemmy better, it's faster, lighter, and doesn't have any dumb karma thing. So I deleted my last Reddit account, told the Reddit administration to go screw themselves, and I have no regrets.
I'm not banned, I just won't go there anymore.
The preponderance of flagrant double standards in moderation policies did it in for me. I deleted a 14 year old account when it became clear that there was going to be a clear effort on behalf of reddit's corporate leadership to push bullshit narratives and purge anyone who spoke up about it. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone invented a reason to ban me.
Turns out I don't even miss it.
I like lemmy's culture more, but I still browse reddit
Israeli IOF Hasbara in worldnews got me banned from everything. I have 5 fully shadow banned account. basically and effectively perm bans. Your page says "no user exists" and your posts and comments cannot be seen by any user nor any viewer in the world.
Banned I don't know how to behave online.
I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.
I left reddit one December (think it was 2023). They showed off thier Reddit Recap. Realised I switched from windows to linux to AVOID data collection, then use an app that gladly showed off all the data they collect.
I'm banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.
With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it's just a read only site for me.
I'm on both, I like both. Been liking Reddit less and less over the years, I expect at some point I'll stop going, but for now it's still okay.
I was never on reddit
Both. Getting banned from reddit did me a favor, really.
we were forced out, and it was clear musk was influencing the bans too, and so much astroturfing against "left leaning comments, over right wingers" is astounding, i pointed out how many of those posts are just ragebaits.
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
Not banned. I think it's great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.
Lemmy as a platform speaks to me on a philosophical level when it comes to the kinds of technology I use when I have the choice. I like that it is not at the mercy of the need to turn a profit to exist.
I'm banned on enough accounts they auto ban me when I make new ones. I went off the rails on a lot of political topics. I never threatened anyone, but I did wish them unspecified harms, use the words of naughtiness, and made myself a target of a few pro Trump mods and that was it. Anyway, I'm fine here, I also didn't start using this until years after the ban so, not very related.
I never really got into reddit.
Getting in on Lemmy (relatively) early made it feel more specifical so I actually do more than search it for answers
