New to Lemmy and this is me to a T. Reddit just banned my 11+ year old account for expressing my anger at the continued fascist attacks on my country (Canada). So fuck em, I’m not going to bend over backwards trying to make an alt account they won’t flag, I’ll be sad for the Reddit of bygone days but it’s gone now, the new one is rotten to the core.
So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
Yes it’s how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn’t turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope
Yep, that is why I am here
Honestly that’s how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.
It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities
Odd since it’s arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
That would assume you dont have a grudge against the site for banning you.

I think it’s more like getting used to the freedoms of Lemmy increases the likelihood of popping up on the radar of some dubious Reddit admins.
