Sometimes the mods over there are like this
Yeah, I got banned (from a community) my first week of Lemmy on this instance just for saying I thought both capitalism and communism were wrong, suggesting something between the many 'isms" as an ideal solution. I wasn’t even being rude about it.
That’s how it’s supposed to be though, they warn before they shoot.
The reason bans are permanent more often these days is because of the new Reddit ui. It defaults to permanent and too many mods are lazy.
That sounds very on-brand for Reddit these days.
Yep, so much of Reddit is like that… Creating an adversarial relationship with users …and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.
Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.
also some communities have their mods completely replaced since Reddit’s api changes, because the former mods didn’t want to cooperate
I discovered that it happened for r/piracy and it’s one of the main reasons I got to lemmy since they have a big community here
anyway it makes sense that these replaced mods hate the community, it’s the reason they are there in the first place
Consider so many people still use X, never underestimate how much self inflicted pain a user is willing to endure over changing their lifestyle.
Why is anyone still bothering with Reddit aside from search result necessity?
I do it rarely when I have specific questions that need answers. But nit all subreddits, because some large subreddits are unhelpful like Steamdeck… so meh. Its a mix. Reddit is visited once a month I think because of this desire to get a wider tange of people to read tbe question.

I assume op was appropriately banned but enjoys a nice out of context whine about big bad reddit
Actually, the screenshots of the ban messages were found via a Google image search and are not me.
But yeah, Reddit has a problem with rude power mods swinging their banhammer. It’s been documented for years.
Soooo… Why are you here then?
I’m just here so I don’t get fined
It’s getting worse in more ways than one, I wouldn’t argue against that. But getting banned isn’t something I’ve come across. Posts removed or zero engagement on comments? Yes, all the time.
I feel like the way to get banned from /parenting is to bring up anti-natalism or childfree.
Yep
I love how the “it’s retarted” text in the last panel is missing but my brain just reads it anyways
Yup, he wanted to say it, but 28 day modmail mute and all 🤷♂️
