I’m looking at other people’s reasons for reddit bans and i kinda understand why they were. I dont agree with them, and most of them are stupid and heavy handed and are mean-spirited applications of the letter of a rule while blatantly ignoring the meaning, but they are technically justifiable.
I got banned for saying Genji mains suck.
Reddit killed third party apps
The sex , drugs and rock n roll !
Discovered way to late there was a decentralized version of Reddit and I had to join
I got really sick of rational thought being swept aside to maintain a status quo on Reddit, and looked for alternatives. All of the non-political subs weren’t worth staying.
I was already no longer posting on reddit through alternative front-ends since around 2018, because I disliked privacy issues with it. I was just lurking via alternate frontends (the precursors to Redlib, there were more before the API fiasco). I was already into the FOSS community and so I forget exactly how I came across Raddle and Lemmy (maybe through /r/piracy or /r/datahoarder, but could have been many other places), and Lemmy was far far far slower then, but when I landed on Lemmy I really wanted it to become a viable alternative to reddit.
Saw a post on r/rust.
Because Reddit is a haven for power tripping white supremacists who ban any opinion they don’t like.
I wanted to keep using Boost, and they banned third party applications from Reddit.
Especially annoying given that their own application was awful and at times unusable with whole features completely missing.
Because fuck spez™ and reddit is so large it’s hard to find community
Banned for many reasons, but the last one was for saying all religion are bad.
Just didn’t feel like making yet another alt to be banned.
