Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?

I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don’t exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year’s Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.

But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying “you got banned because you violated the community guidelines”. So now I’m here.

What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?

    Yup, came here after the API changes that basically blocked 3rd party clients.

      Same here. Once RIF was blocked, there was no way I could stay on the site given I’d never use the official app. Plus there was the whole principle of the thing.

      Same.

      I was on Reddit for 13 years. I scrambled every single post I had made before deleting my account when the 3rd party apps fell. Never looked back.

        I still have my reddit account, but I got all my data deleted via a GDPR request. I’m never at reddit at all, I actually prefer Lemmy way more.

          I also prefer Lemmy. Reddit had a few niche hobby subreddits that I do miss, but the greedy pigboy Spez won’t be getting any contribution from me ever again.
