Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?

I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don’t exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year’s Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.

But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying “you got banned because you violated the community guidelines”. So now I’m here.

What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?

    I’ve never been banned, but I’ve gotten a “warning” just for reporting numerous posts a person made threatening trans people.

    I knew I needed to move on.

    I stopped using reddit years before Lemmy became a thing. I became a redditor back when Digg was still a thing, but reddit became worse and worse, and rediquette was basically unknown and never followed when I left.
    Rediquette was actually one of the things that made reddit great, unfortunately we don’t have that here, but things haven’t devolved as bad here as they did on reddit.

    I just got a sitewide ban for… posting Mar-a-lago’s address.

    My last permanent ban was for quoting Adam Smith In a landlord sub, it’s always been pretty random what can ban you, but it seems they’re hiring DOGE level morons to moderate the site now.

    Me lol, I basically got perm banned for jokingly saying something along the line of setting someone on fire on a Minecraft post about flint and steel, I guess Reddit mods (if they actually a human and not a bot) can’t differentiate what is a real threat and what is a video game mechanic. It was like 9 months ago but despite I appeal like every day, my account never got unbanned RIP.

    I wonder if anyone have any ways to use Reddit again, look as much as I love Lemmy, there are things that I can’t do on Lemmy like on Reddit including things that is related to my career/job as Reddit is much larger and Lemmy is much more niche for this type of question/discussion.
