My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

The APIcalypse for me.
Slightly concerned by how many people here managed to get banned from the entire site.
I got shadowbanned! And I don’t even know what I did.
99.9% of my posting was in two places: technical testing in localllama and fandom geeking in thelastairbender, in spite of brain drain in both subs. I never even raised my voice in a post.
I did post a Lemmy link, but that was well after my first shadowban I believe.
Anyway, it feels like tons of technical and lore intelligence drained from these subs, so I feel like I’m not the only one who got shut out.
Yeah, FWIW I recognise some of these users, and they’ve been fine. And Reddit hasn’t looked better when I’ve incidentally browsed through.
I purposely got banned so I couldn’t as easily sign back up.
I was permanently banned for life. I am not sure what I did except maybe wish for a perfectly natural health event occur for a certain evil public person. I did not consider that promoting violence or some kind of evil plan to incite violence. Basically, coronary artery disease is progressive and no one can do anything to stop it.
When they provided the link to show me the post, it didn’t lead to anything. I assume it was a bot or someone reported me. It made me realize that the internet has changed quite a bit when it came to forums. It was also probably a good thing although I did have a lot of Karma. Also, every subreddit had so many touchy rules, it was hard to keep track. I found Lemmy via C. Doctorow recommending it.
