I did! They banned my account after a dispute with a Mod claiming I was being islamaphobic for asking about professor who was killed for supposedly showing a picture of Muhammad (which later turned out the daughter lied about) by a girl's father who was mad man who claimed Islam. The post was praising Islam for being a religion of peace and anyone who said differently didn't understand... so I asked about that case.... got banned from the sub.. argued with the mod, who then reported.e for harassment to the Reddit team and boom, permanently banned, no appeal option... My four year account and 97k karma gone.. then they banned my Alt account because of my phone IP address... I was so pissed.. tried VPNs too.. no good after a while..
Then I googled reddit alternatives, and a few scrolls down, I saw a forum from lemmy discusing how it had just launched as the reddit alternative and to try it.. I am glad I did. I like this better.. I wish there was more content though.. I love certain shows and love discussion about them. Like MTV the challenge or what we do in the shadows... Lemmy is so new, it doesn't have all those communitys just yet but I am happy to be here and watch the site grow.
