I didn’t get banned, I left Reddit voluntarily when they announced that they were going to be increasing censorship on their site a year or so ago.
My reasoning was, 'It's only a matter of time before I *do* get banned for something stupid, so I might as well leave this site on my own while I'm still ahead.'
THe censorship came in the form of mass site wide banning and shadowbannings, apparently thier AI was doing it so carelessly the admin stopped listening to appeals because there were too many. this is thier intention. and preparing reddit for an eventual takeover as a right wing propaganda source. allowing palantir AI bots is the latest example.

I got ahead of all that and jumped ship to Lemmy before it got really bad.
good thing i remember lemmy last year when it was all happening, and people were scrambling to find a replacement posting on other obscure sites.
