I wasn't banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.

Reddit didn't ban me, I banned them.

Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.

Banned for using a VPN for “ban evasion” but never had been banned before.

Appealed. No response.

I took that as a fuck off message.

I came here after the Reddit API mess but still posted on Reddit.

Got a temporary Reddit ban for a short statement saying Biden was caught genociding, then recently a permanent ban for saying the only way Trump is leaving office is if 100,000 people drag him out. "Inciting violence."

303,000 comment karma, 8,388 post karma, 14+ years.

Going corporate is never good.

I didn't get banned. I left after the API change. I was already reducing use naturally, and what time I did still spend there was mostly to mod a very small niche hobby sub.

Without the mod tools I used before the API changes, plus the influx of MAGA-bots on reddit as a whole, I could longer mod the sub in a way the community asked for and that I was comfortable with. So I resigned, wished the remaining mods well, and went about my way.

There were other subs trying to go dark and impact reddit's advertising opportunities, and reddit was banning some of the mods doing that sort of thing. I decided even if reddit changed course, I was past the point I could ever come back to it.

Left reddit in the api blockage

Now I spend my days shit chatting with MLs

I got 'soft banned'.

I had stopped commenting on Reddit back in 2022 after receiving warnings on similar topics. Continued to lurk and scroll. Now reddit has an uncloseable popup on web telling me to use the app. So I don't use reddit.

I just stopped using it. No ban necessary.

I did get one or two temporary bans some years ago. First time was for criticizing their censorship. The second time was for sending the middle finger emoji to Spez.

I'm not going to go out of my way to delete my dead user or posts or anything. It's not my problem. Quite frankly, I just don't give a shit about their site.

No ban, it just reached a threshold of enshittification where I said "enough is enough" and left.

Not banned but forced to use their shit app. They shut down Reddit is Fun, fuck them

After Reddit cut off api access to third-party apps, I left. Well, not right away, I did give RedReader a try for a month or so.

This is not a banned users refuge.

Nah I was part of the app/api exodus.

I got banned for making a comment about some hockey player needed attempted murder charges for using his skate blade to slash a rival players throat during a game. Blood spirting out all over the ice. I was banned for inciting violence. When I asked how what I said was inciting violence they perma banned me. I then came here.

I didn't get banned, I left Reddit voluntarily when they announced that they were going to be increasing censorship on their site a year or so ago.

My reasoning was, 'It's only a matter of time before I *do* get banned for something stupid, so I might as well leave this site on my own while I'm still ahead.'

16 years, voluntarily killed my account.

I got a 7 day ban for criticizing the current administration. Then I responded with go fucj yourself to the mod team and got my ban.

Not sorry.

Reddit admins, go fuck yourselves

I got perma banned because I said Nazis deserve to die.

Me. I got shadow banned, without ever hearing why

Getting banned on reddit was how I first learned about lemmy, but tbh I see the same kind of shit-flinging here, and I go back and forth. There's a kind of smugness here about not being like reddit, but I think it just feels different because people who would be targets on reddit get to be flingers here.

Not banned, just fed up.

Not banned but they stopped letting me use bacon reader. so that was a deal breaker

Not banned, just bored.

I was permabanned in Elon's post-inauguration bloodbath, after 12 years, and a million Karma.

I know it sounds like sour grapes, but Reddit had already fallen far, and it's fallen much farther since. I was checking out a thread that came up in a search, and I had to endlessly scroll through puns, novelty accounts, more puns, trolls, tangents, etc. I gave up before ever getting to anything resembling the subject I had searched. Useless.

Banned just over a year ago due to rump and anti nazi comments with a few fuck Ford’s in there as well.

I was "harassing" a climate change denier by @ing them on climate change related news. The dude refused to block me and just kept getting annoyed once or twice a day instead. 10/10 would get banned for antagonizing someone too stupid to use the block button again.

Not banned, left voluntarily. The experience was so shitty I finally just said fuck it and left

10 years in. Banned for suggesting that Trump’s immigration policy should keep the white trash South Africans out of America and not employed as ICE agents.

Never got banned but have been on threadiverse since the Apollo killing a few years ago. That was plenty for me to leave that site.

I made a suicidal joke once and got a 7 day ban and the automod locked on me like the plague.

Got another 7 day ban for quoting Garfield for promoting violence,

got a 7 day ban on a post by rawdawg comics when he said he loved his boyfriend for saying "ha gay" because apparently that promotes hate.

and then the final one was on distressing memes when someone was talking about the funky town video , I was literally giving context to a person that didn't know what the video was, and only my comment got removed .

I left for the blackout.

I got banned for saying that nazis used to get punched at punk shows.

Haven't been banned yet, but I avoid politics on Reddit and I rarely post/comment over there ever since the 3rd party app fiasco.

Using a VPN.🤷‍♀️

Also, welcome! 🇵🇸✊

Main user got eventually banned for liking a comment, i was on a last warning and subsequent alts got caught by machine algorithms detecting uncharacteristic behavior for a new user or some links to the original banned user, like device ID or browser ID. All alts got shadowbanned after first few comments.

After few weeks of trying different approaches i gave up and decided it's more effort to try to bypass the detection algorithms than it's worth to browse reddit.

No, I was targeted. I would say anything eventually and it would trigger a 24 hour ban near immediately. Then I’d appeal, win the appeal, come back to say one thing and BAM suspended within the hour.

I’m pretty sure I was on some list. My comments would get thousands of upvotes. I ran economy for a fucking minute (by way of being the first to respond to propaganda posts). Every time maga would attempt their bullshit I was there in a minute to respond to it. Then these suspensions kept happening, and eventually I started getting suspensions for months old posts immediately after an appeal went through.

I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you, this was a targeted thing and I’m not the only one.

Got banned twice recently. First time was for using kirk as a verb and the second time for pointing out the irony of israel working with nazi sympathizers to genocide muslims.

Not banned. Just productised.

• Can't use the app of my choose. Must use Reddit app.
• Can't have an anonymous account, must be tied to email.
• Can't have a non-age verified account, must have your ID

All whilst selling data to AI training companies.

Fuck off!

My 7 year acct is banned over an f-ing movie quote in a sub asking your favorite movie quote? I even cited and referenced to 2 MODs and even their AI said it's a quote. But since the quote "promoted violence" it was removed and now when I post on the acct it's shadow banned.

The quote came from Samuel L Jackson from the beginning of Jackie Brown when he started with "AK-47."

I got banned for visiting my mother. No really. I decided to log on from her house, and the anti-bot bot noticed I was using a different IP address and flagged me for being a bot. Did the little dance to confirm I'm a real person, which resulted in a permanent ban. Thanks Reddit!

Today is my 3 year Lemmyversary, so I'm not exactly a new user. I mostly left Reddit after the API change, but did continue to use it lightly. Got banned about three months ago for commenting on a story about the IDF torturing a one year old baby in order to get information from the boys father. My comment said basically I can kinda see the terrorists' [against Isreal] point.

Honestly being banned for anti-Israel/anti-Zionism rhetoric is kinda a badge of honor.

Someone asked if a resuscitated prisoner has finished their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, Reddit said that promoted violence.

Who hasn't been banned from a number of subs on reddit? It's a fascist place.

Not banned, I just like Communism, FOSS, and decentralization.

I said I wanted to kill Andrew Tate

I don't know. I went back after leaving for ethical etc reasons and my old reddit account was reported suspended, but also doesn't come up in a search at all. I tried to read something on a web page on my computer, to which I've never logged into reddit, and it said something about blocked, and I couldn't even load the search suggestion, that had generated it, found it on another site, anyway. I miss my content, but the site is no loss, it's a bot heavy slow boil to Nazism.

I was sitewide banned for criticizing war thunder owner Gaijin on their own subreddit by saying they are biased to make russian vehicles always perform better than other nations at the same battle rating.

As far as I understood from others it's because subreddit mods have the power to sitewide ban... For some ridiculous reason. And in this case nobody at Reddit gave a damn or dared confront someone as big as Gaijin for someone as little as me.

Edit: at least I think that's why. Reddit bans are ambiguous as fuck. I remember trying to figure out why exactly but the message was similar to "banned because you broke tos" or some bullshit like that, with no link to an actual comment.

bailed on the mod purge when they tried to tell mods how to mod their subs.

15 year account, banned for the same anti-Zionism as you.

I wasn't banned until well after I joined Lemmy

I deleted my account, remade another

Defended lgbt people and fought against racists

Got banned for being a bigot I think a few weeks later.

I have no idea why anyone would want to stay there, but I hope they do or the Lemmy communities will get overrun by nutjobs

There was no way to argue against the ban either. Seems that the current strategy is just reporting people who hate trump. As long as you have the right keywords, it might even be automated at this point

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned, and racist comments get promoted because they have the most engagement.. and the racists whinge that Facebook is getting blocked for kids
