To people migrating from reddit. At the end of the day no one will notice you left. What's better, leave and be forgotten or getting banned in the most spectacular way?

Got banned for saying “trans women are women” lol
PSA: delete your account!
being banned is funny and stuff, but reddit can, has and will unban accounts to inflate their user count for their investors.
delete every account, post and comment if you can.
Forgot about this. Can't they restore accounts too?
i dont know, i dont think so (without a user asking them to?). i think it would be less trouble for them to just create new accounts on their own. same result, but nobody can claim that their deleted account was restored. i think restoring deleted accounts could lead to legal trouble?
Really disappointed when I got banned out of nowhere. Worked for my profile and when my posts are getting interactions, my account is gone.
Will miss the friends i made there.
Yeha it sucks for sure, but youll be fine, for me I had hella niches like comicbooks, blender, vfx/houdini, indiedev that kept me interested and I def miss that, I dont really enjoy just viewing it half the fun was commenting and asking how ppl did stuff. Now I mostly use Yt, tiktok, Ig, and bluesky (not a fan but finding ppl to follow was easier than mastodon/sharkey) for those niches. I hope those communities grow here, only thing I used reddit for was that and wordpress drama.
Selfhosting/linux info is solid here so I was still able to discuss and learn about that niche even losing reddit.
I also miss the edm/rave communities, but they were going downhill, kinda peaked 2-3 years ago imo.
Oh forgot tvshow speciifc communities, I dont miss them, I dony like other ppls opinions when it comes to the shows I like apparently, I feel better not arguing.
Don't care either way. I came because it really seemed like reddit was becoming a terrible place. The arbitrary banning and increasing warnings on restricting content made it time to go. I'm just grateful that lemmy is an alternative that (so far) seems to capture the spirit of original reddit, without all the increasing b.s.
I just hope that I become as comfortable with lemmy as I did with the reddit app. I hated switching from Comet to the reddit app. But, I got used to the reddit app, so I'm sure I will with lemmy. It's nice to have 75% of reddit, but a nice 3rd party app to use again. I'm new and learning!
It's a different vibe. It doesn't come with all sunshine and rainbows but once you find a niche it's easy to settle in.
It’s definitely really hard to replace my lighthearted subs, but I’ll take the actual sane discussion about news and fair moderation over that. Shit is too dire for me to get hung up on memes
I've been using Boost and it's quite a bit like rif. I adored rif, the best interface for reddit on mobile. Boost is already way better than the official reddit app, that thing is terrible and full of bugs galore.
If I wanted to be noticed, I'd go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.
My old account is still there, what's a good way to get it banned in protest?
dont get banned upvote the ocassional lemmy post and downvote the lazy naysayers that chime in every time it gets some steam lol
dont get banned, just delete your account. reddit is notorious in unbanning people to inflate their user count to investors.
Is there a good way to change all my former comments to garbage?
Everyone has their own journey
I got banned for apparently trying to circumnavigate a ban, despite not being banned, so I found something better
it seems like that is a very common issue now, from the recent purges alot of people were getting evasion bans despite not even doing it, or they had a defunct account that was permabanned sometime ago and was deleted.
Sir, how dare you circumvent your ban. I silenced you, or someone like you, or just I don't really know because I'm relying on incomplete data to determine who was banned and who you are. You're ban stands and if you or anyone like you trys to circumvent it, I'll have their heads!
Darn it... I hope I don't get banned again, even though I'm permanently banned from reddit
I made some good content on Reddit that I'm actually proud of and would like to remain up, so I'm not too excited about doing something spectacular to get banned.
Oh, I operate differently. I'm providing free content, good or bad, end of day I don't reap the benefit. Even just engaging people in discussion helps the platform move along. So anything I contribute would be equally suited for the garbage can.
One man's trash and all that..
I can certain only respect that opinion. I'd certainly like to port my stuff over here and delete it from reddit, but the community I would put it in doesn't exist on Lemmy.
I'd create the place here, but I am for sure not a good person to run an online community. I'm thin skinned and don't suffer fools gladly. That's the kind of moderator people generally hate.
I got banned for daring to report violent content. Apparently reporting death threats is 'targeted harassment' of the moderators now
Got that too lmao
ooh i had the same thing too, other accts i had reporting someone is not allowed because its not a violation, or im "harassing someone", or im commiting report abuse. and/or a mod gives thier piece of thier mind that my report "does not constitute a report, just because disagree with them, how is disagreeing when im reporting misinformation"
I mean...I am here BECAUSE I got banned
I didn't do much, but I did tell the admins they're useless pieces of human garbage and I can't wait for that platform to go under. I was terminally addicted to reddit and was on it probably 8 hours a day. They'll start noticing when a large chunk of their population drops off for other networks. I don't really care if they know I left or not. I left because of my own reasons.
I left back in 2023; didn't do anything besides purging my posts and comments and deleting my account. No sense doing anything spectacular, you're just wasting your own time and causing more overall engagement on the platform. Though I suppose posting about the fediverse wouldn't be the worst idea.
I’m still on both. Here for all of the political stuff and and anti-Reddit post and on Reddit I’m still in the subreddits that aren’t on here yet. Mainly a lot of crafting related stuff. And whenever someone complains about censorship on Reddit I respond with Lemmy as a suggestion. If I get banned I get banned. We’ll see.
I think someone runs a crosspost bot that can copy a subreddit to here. I don’t recall who though. Might be a good solution to the missing technical/niche subreddits on lemmy.
The lemmit.online instance exists, but it's utility is limited without a two-way bridge for comments. It's effectively just like a crowdsourced RSS feed.
im doing the same, i keeping one candle lit, on a semi-flagged acct for only strict non-politics or news subs, too risky to even comment any large subs.
I seem to be in the same category as you regarding a few groups that get no traction on Lemmy. Do you have any idea how they handled mentioning Lemmy in a comment? I would think it would be worse if you mentioned it in a post
I’m staying to be a fediverse evangelist. Someone’s got to upvote all of Blaze’s posts.
Banned spectacularly
