Everything about this seems incredibly suspect. Reddit wouldn't ever ban anyone for suggesting an alternative (there's a whole subreddit dedicated to that). This just seems to be a shill capitalizing on the news, plain and simple.

/r/RedditAlternatives ( https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ )
It comes complete with a wiki page that lists many of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/...

Seems to be working too. I hadn't even heard of lemmy until I saw this post on HN.

They absolutely do. Try linking to rdrama.net, you'll get shadowbanned.

Whole site. I've heard that you'll get banned even for a DM with the url.

They probably got suspended for a few days for spamming, but I bet they didn't get banned. I don't think reddit wants a martyr account lol
