I was on Reddit for 10 years, and I have absolutely no clue why I was banned. I just moved, so maybe it was because my new ISP dealt me a bad IP?
Anyway, Reddit:
- Has no email, and doesn’t respond to e-mails.
- Doesn’t respond to mod mail, doesn’t tell you why you were banned.
- Doesn’t respond to appeal.
- Autobans any user I create.
- Seemingly doesn’t give a shit about it’s long-term users.
I guess from here on out I’m a… Lemming? Lemmyzen? Lemmy user?
Anyway thanks for having me! Reddit was shit anyway. I’ve been without it for a week now, and my life has definitely improved lol
I quoted a sentence from a banned post (I like to hit people) and asked if OOP understands the difference between “hit” and “hit on” since there are many non native speakers online. Next day I was banned. No repeal. That’s it. I am so fed up.
Same thing happened to me. I admit I’ll rage post sometimes and sure I might deserve a subreddit ban here or there. But I’ve never done anything worthy of a site-wide ban. But the reddit admins act like dictators on a power trip. They LOVE to slap people with site-wide bans. For no good reason, and I don’t understand it. The admins have turned the whole site toxic, and places like Lemmy are a direct response to their insane powertripping.
Right now it sucks. Reddit is still the most popular forum on the internet. I pray that someday it won’t be.
Maybe you were upvoting things that Reddit was finding against their ToS?
I saw something about them previously warning users for things that they had been upvoting.
And, a fair warning, your upvotes and downvotes on the fediverse/Lemmy are public even if it’s not shown to you within the Lemmy interface itself.

I suppose anything is possible. Or maybe it’s because I like pineapple on pizza, I wrote about that once too
It’ll only get better, welcome!
Hello: Mod logs
Goodbye: Niche communities…Welcome
Modlog in of itself is a content generation master piece 🤣
on lemmy its much better. if we are banned its because of politics. thankfully i can still post on tech lemmies in other instances. it would be a shame if people could be banned from all the instances just because they disagree with the mods.
Decentralized system doesn’t permit out right removal of an account unlike reddit where wrong speak will get you outright censored.
That system will be down fall of Reddit at the end.
Welcome!
Reddit is a joke now, totally ran by lib tards
Your political views are abhorrent, noted.
Lol, yeah, the pro facist, pro billionaire liberals we hear so much about
I don’t understand the sarcasm. Reddit isn’t run by conservatives. The left is pro fascist and does throw their money around like oligarchs.
You’re not going to have a good time in the Fediverse if you think phrases like “lib tard” are a good idea.
I had a look at a site called Saidit, JFC that place is where all the racists congregate it seems. Insane what’s allowed there.
Whatever
No need to be rude. I don’t agree with Reddit but I will never call them names
I don’t even mind that, I have a few liberal views myself. It’s the hipocrosy and lack of free speech that disgusts me.
They don’t allow opposing viewpoints to even exist.
Exactly
“a few liberal views” will be interpreted by some vocal people here as “complacent in fascism,” so be prepared.
If I can’t even make an off the cuff remark then this place is no better than reddit. Wtf ever happened to free speech and people being able to take a joke
Free speech means you can make the remark. It also means other people can respond.
Thanks for the warning!
