Both. Getting banned from reddit did me a favor, really.

MODERATORS
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.
Yes except for niche subs. I visit reddit about once a week now instead of daily. Can't wait for the day to come when I can leave for good.
I was here when Lemmur was still maintained, under a different username off course.. same thing with Friendica, I'm waiting for Facebook to fuck up..
my first account was banned because I was critical of Christianity and it hobby of murdering people
I was shadowbanned, so I signed up for Lemmy for the long term, and made another account on Reddit because who gives a shit about "ban evasion".
Will keep using both till I'll be permabanned; Reddit still has more of the communities I'm interested in. I hope Reddit fucks up even more so there'll be another exodus to Lemmy.
Never been banned on reddit but I prefer how there is less of a moderation here for my searing hot takes when I feel like shitposting
reddit is banned in my country (ofc VPN will bypass it) but why bother use more effort if i got something legally available?
I tried to get banned with my last couple posts but they ignored them I guess. Account is still there.
Reddit Refugee. Thanks!
Like lemmy more.
After Apollo stopped working I learned I liked nice UI and no ads more than I tolerated vanilla Reddit.
Neither, but the hope still remains that Lemmy grows to be better. Right now I just see too many weird takes here, but its the best alternative currently.
Haven't had a reddit account since ~2015. Saw no value for a long time. Here is different.
I've been trying to use Lemmy more for general and political content but I still use Reddit for niche fandoms and hobbies.
I just like Lemmy more
I like lemmy more because it feels like I get more interaction when I post here. Smaller communities are just better for meaningful discussion.
unfortunately not banned
After leaving Reddit due to the whole API scandal, I noticed that that decision was really a wake up call to take a break off the internet. Actually, it made me delete every "traditional" social media application, with the obvious exception of YouTube. I've never felt better. Being addicted to social media for this long can have some pretty serious issues.
Lemmy is pretty great, so much so that it's a part of my username now (it's more of a pseudonym now). In fact, it being small kinda encouraged me to take breaks off the internet. I've had one for like... 2 months perhaps?
Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at asklemmy@lemmy.ml btw
I crosspost what I can from .ml comms to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm as part of ongoing efforts to boycott and reduce .ml's influence on the wider Lemmy-verse because of the Tankie ideology the admin team of that instance enforce through censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes and allowing known propaganda outlets (such as RT) to fester (see !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for what evidence and documentation has been gathered thus far)
That being said, everything else I crosspost is still visible as a crosspost via the crosspost icon that shows on posts.
Text posts like this are tricky since there's no URL for the crosspost system to track and I don't want to leave the link in place because that would make things too easy and possibly work in counter to my efforts. So to that end, I feel tagging the user is sufficient credit. People still know it's some form of a crosspost, I'm not the OOP, and they know the name of the OOP should they really want to go to the original post
thats why it had a feeling of a conservative thing going on.
