Reddit permabanned me. I pissed off too many mods, made too many new accounts, now I guess my ip is caught in their spam filter or something. Crazy thing, I never posted anything offensive. I could be posting about playing GTA and somebody I pissed off in another thread would report me for “advocating violence”, which is an autoban basically.
Add to that the “your karma is too low” or “your post doesn’t include xyz” shit and the site is becoming unusable.
And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.
Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.
What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion?
It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.
For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.
I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.
What’s really fascinating is how many of the advice communities for certain sexual practices are run by bona fide rapists.
Same. Will never go back. Even the military subs are toxic now.
Imagine that.

You are at -20 and I can still read you just fine. On reddit they would have banned you, got you fired from your job and stolen your cat.
