You are here because you are banned, I am here because I chose to quit Reddit. We are not the same.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I feel like half of lemmy probably has a ridiculous ban reason on reddit lol
I wish lemmy gets popular and reddit dies suddenly
Totally. And given the way that YouTube is basically collapsing, handing itself over to unbridled AI sloppage, I'd also like to see an alternative to YouTube (like peertube) take over.
Im' praying for that
Same here honestly
lemmy is already too popular and too many of the same problems are occuring here.
including shithead users who harass, insult, and report people trying to get them banned because they are so stupid and self-righteous they think other people can't think or live differently than them without being 'bad people'.
I was permabanned for a metaphorical post. Two weeks short of 15 years. Oh well, I found Lemmy and haven't skiped a beat and it's WAAAAY nicer here. Like Reddit was before 2010. Fun, friendly and laid back.
Welcome to the party!
I deserved my ban. I can't help but to tell magats what I think of them, because they should be made to feel how terrible their choice was at any and every opportunity!
doom
When? Reddit behaves this way because it can afford to. A thousand trolls here, a handful of influencers there, Reddit wouldn't notice if they're gone.
Idk I've noticed a lot of people complain that they got banned for silly reasons. Mine was silly too. Plus a site wide ban? That's ridiculous! Reddit going mainstream is its biggest curse. I've legit seen comments with death wish, threats and none of those are banned.
I got a site-wide permaban almost 2 years ago for a joke in r/losercity that was taken the wrong way and I got dogpiled by virtue-signalling furries. I've appealed my ban almost 10 times now and they reject it every time.
I don't get it. They could have just given me a ban from the r/losercity subreddit instead. They didn't need to ban me from the entire site. I haven't caused any problems on other subs. I had over 30,000 karma on my account and it took me years to build it all up. I got along great with people in r/vtubers and r/votv and had a lot of fun there.
It's so bizarre that one f-up gets a sudden permaban from the entire site. All I can think of is that one of the left-wingers in losercity is in with the admins and they called in a favor. It has to be a nepotism thing.
Yeah same I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years and was banned over a misunderstanding. All my appeals have been denied. They can get fucked! And honestly yeah I won’t miss all those left wing nut jobs.
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate that all it takes is one thing that gets people like us permanently banned from Reddit
making off kilter comments on reddit for well over a decade... and i never even got a subreddit ban for them...
then around '21/'22 i started getting subreddit bans like crazy. weird. mods kept saying i was a sexist/racist trump supporter... but I am not.
then in '24 it was sitewide bans for mainsteam comments that were 'violent and racist'. one comment was about my cat killing rabbits in my local city subreddit. The second was 'racist' for saying how much I admired our asian majoy in my local city subreddit.
been on lemmy two years now. Had a great time mostly. But recently... now on lemmy every few days I get harassed by some weirdo going around on my old comments for days/weeks ago telling me how racist and sexist trump supporter i am. I assume bot/troll accounts. got a couple fo community bans too for these weirdos reporting me.
agree too that most of the harassment comes from crazy left-wing nutjobs who think nobody is left enough for them, who are 100% fascists, as long as it's left wing fascism.
Yeah, this unfortunately. Some Reddit moderators are too hostile, I believe people Change for the better and some people do deserve second chances, I tried to apologize to a Reddit mod for unintentionally for breaking a subreddit’s rules. That same Reddit mod accused me for being a tribalist and doing tribalism. I am not a tribalist and I don’t support tribalism
as lemmy grows the hostility here is growing.
I've been using this site for almost two years now. In the past two months I've gotten more insults, threats, and bans than I have ever had in the past two years. Mostly because reddit exteremists who are getting banned are bringing their ban-happy harassment agendas to lemmy. Also a big influx of trolls and bot accounts recently.
But hey, at least it's not AI doing the banning here yet.
Yeah, this unfortunately. But at least lemmy and the fediverse has features that can mitigate extremism. Also lemmy and the fediverse has instances and features that can help others hold power trippers and extremists accountable
I literally got banned for the same reason for LIFE. And my original ban was for a misunderstanding. I even spoke to the moderators and they said they are lifting my ban. So when I commented in ‘marriage’ with another account I assumed it wasn’t banned from there anymore. So I got done for ‘ban evasion’ and then all of a sudden they banned all my accounts and I think my IP address. It was insane! I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years. Every single time I have appealed they have denied me. Seriously go screw them!
Yeah, I sympathize with you. I got banned from Reddit too
I was banned for breaking an unwritten rule. Using slur words in any context is racism or homophobia.
It's the AI bans.
I got site banned last year for making 'racist comments' because I supported the Asian mayor of my city. Apparently appreciating having a non-white major makes me racist in the eyes of reddit.
