Here because they banned /r/CTH

Why do you think we had to be using reddit before using the fediverse?

Dang, plenty of marks but no bingo for me. I should have been banned before leaving

but.. like.. so — theoretically — what happens when someone looses miserably at bingo with a perfect score of 0/9? Asking for a friend.. of a friend..

That was his Reddit username, wasn’t it?

At least everyone who was actually banned for no reason will believe the other people saying they were banned for no reason

None of these, really; I just wanted something open-source (I guess bottom-middle might qualify for that but I don't plan to run anything)..

API change.

Which does somewhat filter down to cells 1 and 2

Based on the registration applications, I think getting banned is a lot less common than people think. Most people are checking out the fediverse because of other problems on reddit, whether its the ads, bots, monetization related changes, hateful content, privacy concerns, manipulation, trump related concerns, etc

We do get the occasional "I'm here because I got banned", but the vast majority is "I'm curious about what this place is like".

Now isn't hard evidence on its own, but I'd also bet that when the first category joins, they're often looking for a place to vent about their ban. When the second category joins, they rarely announce their newness.
