Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?

I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don't exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year's Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.

But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying "you got banned because you violated the community guidelines". So now I'm here.

What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?

I am here from reddit but I wouldn't call myself a refugee. More like an immigrant. I wasn't banned. I just tried this, liked it better, and since I disagreed with the API changes I settled here. I still browse reddit when I can't find specific stuff on Lemmy, and very, very occasionally (like once or twice a year) I post there in subs that aren't as developed here.

This but I would die before posting on reddit, you can check my history there and confirm I speak the truth. Spez can tongue my anus.

Same here.
My first account was banned for (IMO bogus reasons)
My now second but primary account is still active sometimes but I only lurk 99% of the time and almost never vote
I only use Lemmy as of now primarily.
