I’m so glad I was permabanned with no possible way to ever login under any new or existing username ever again. That’s the only way they could keep me away. It’s been healthy for me.
Yep. I just got permabanned last week and for the most part don’t care. But I had created a small sub that I miss ☹️ very niche, won’t be able to do it again.
One thing I like about Lemmy is I’m less prone to doom scrolling. I just make a few comments a day and monitor the results. Their server limitations serve as an incentive to make a less addictive product.
same here, but there is a way to login, you just cant use the same IP/device, or browsers. more sophisticated ones you can run dozens of accounts on the same device(but this is more complicated. reddit is so oppressive it sniffs out alternatives ways to evade its filters.(this more for the spammers who drop thier OF ads/or driving people to thier own sites)
I haven’t tried it yet but I thought the only way I can try to make a new Reddit user name is logging in on the library computer but even libraries require you register your photo ID with them and then your identity is linked to your library card, so surely reddit & Google & every platform can identify everyone regardless of logging in on new computers, right? That’s my speculation.

I’m in the same boat. I’ve had more productive conversations/debates with people on here in 6 months than 12 years on reddit.
I agree as far as politics, but for everything else I like - music, guitars, cats, animals - Lemmy is sadly lacking.
I agree. There are some extremely niche subreddits that I dearly miss & wish I could participate in.
