I’m a lurker. I don’t post on facebook or reddit or anywhere. Today I randomly got a message from reddit that my account was permanently banned for apparent repeated violations of their site wide rules. I have the ReVanced app on my phone that blocks ads on reddit just so those scumbags can’t profit off me lurking, but it’s the only reason I could fathom that is why I’ve been banned. Anyway I just wanted to vent so thanks for reading this if you did. Reddit fucking sucks.

      I didn’t realize how bad Reddit had gotten until I tried Lemmy. It got toxic slowly enough that it snuck up on me. I’ll never go back.

        I had to look something up and the answer was in Reddit. After I found what I was looking for I scrolled through my old subscribed communities and saw so much toxicity,. Not just in the people but the things I was subscribed to, r/relationships, AITA, even some of askReddit, it made me feel gross thinking that’s what I scrolled through and interacted with every day.

      In my experience, people here are nicer than the people in, for example, r/politics. However, that’s not saying much. I never commented in r/politics. I only commented in those niche communities that don’t exist here and Lemmy is a big step down compared to them in terms of the quality of the discourse. (It helped that the communities I participated in would ban people for being rude.)

    You ain’t missing a damned thing. Reddit is an AI content collection agency. It’s swarming with bots, unhappy users, and those too dumb to find alternarives.

    Getting banned on Reddit is literally easier than waking across the room. They’re insane crybabies.

    I got banned for making a very dry unnoffensive joke with somebody about video games and they misunderstood it and threw a tantrum at me. I started laughing at them and asked if he was okay. He reported me and I was permabanned within a couple of hours. It’s impossible not to offend people on Reddit. 😂

      Haha what the hell. The admins are a bunch of cowards I swear. It’s so bizarrely unreasonable that now I just pray for reddits downfall 😂
