The best way to leave reddit is to get permabanned.

    Can confirm. You can have the mildest takes and still get permbanned.

    Did you know, that saying Neo-Nazis should be named and shamed is a permbannable offense?

    Reddit is becoming Xitter 2.0 and I'm really hoping the remaining human users on there figure it out soon.

    actually since reddit start scrutinizing new accounts and old accounts, you dont even need to cmment to get shadowbanned. thier AI just assume "sudden activity from a new or old account, is consider bannable" they see these types of accounts as potential bots. but we know reddit just wants less users, and only browsers to site anyways.

    I feel like I went through withdrawals, took like a month to get over it, now I rarely use reddit, not missing anything, just thought I was, I guess I do miss reddit from like 2015, but it was getting worse every year, one of my last posts months before my permaban was asking for alternatives. (It's how I found lemmmy lol)

    Reddit is also at a point where everything has been asked and is asked again weekly, i don't really need to post/comment anything myself and my votes mean nothing because of the volume. Most of my comments would get lost in a void.

    i think everyone, before the ban was pretty addicted to reddit especally logging in. i only skim through reddit now and then. i visit pet related, and science related subs more often(since im banned i just browse without logging in)

    I wish I could scroll it and get the daily dopamine but I forget about it, mostly just google searches these days, it used to keep me actively into my hobbies since I get distracted, but not being able to comment irked me so I stopped browsing the app (plus the fat red you are banned banner on every page)

    Yes, I expressed outrage at a disgusting state sanctioned murder in Iraq and suggested the invaders perpetrating these horror deserve to see the same kind of violence in their own cities. Permaban of the entire website forever. I could easily evade the ban but, this was also when the API trouble and the "reddit is fun" app stopped working. The writing was on the wall, duck that place and everyone in it. I won't be taken hostage anymore.

    I never looked back and I'm glad I did, I was wasting so much of my precious time in that ducking disgusting dump. I hope Lemmy doesn't Septemberify for a long time. I really hope steps are taken to prevent centralization and owner dominance of Lemmy before it becomes reddit with extra steps

    Lenny doesn't really work like that. It's not just one site.

    Look, without agglomeration there is already a strong bias for any topic to have just "one big community" on "one big server" like lemmy.ml. Because why would anyone post anywhere else than the one community with the most users.

    That's the same reason everyone is on facebook and reddit. This is a fatal flaw of Lemmy. Just because there are many servers that doesn't resolve the problem of centralization if everyone posts in the same community of the same big server.

    And no one will manually subscribe to 1500 "books" communities with 5 user each, even if they existed. The solution is a single view that sees all "books" community by default.

    There's still way too many niche communities on Reddit that just haven't taken off on Lemmy e.g. alternative a. Non-team sports.

    There's a ViolentMonkey script that can automatically delete all of your Reddit comments. I just run that every few days.

    It's not ideal, but it's the best that I can do if I value access to those communities, which I do.
