Let them come, and also fuck reddit. You’re banned for a comment that was deleted, you can’t see what you said to determine how it violated the rules. You get one message for an appeal. Do you feel lucky? Well do you…punk!
You get one message for an appeal.
They don’t even read the appeals
And around here you can see any mod removals by clicking “source”. It’s like a big red flag saying, “Read this because the mod doesn’t want you to!”
Removed by mod
Sort through a bunch of code? They’re referring to a button in the UI.
I got banned for telling someone to crawl back in their hole because they said female genital mutilation was horrible but that circumcision was fine because it looks better.
Getting permabanned from reddit is the best thing that happened to me in 2024. I don’t even know what for and I don’t care.
Censorship disguised as moderation. This is exactly what killed reddit. You can’t have a discussion over there without getting banned, it’s just individual echo chambers who all censor and ban each other
Hate to break it to you but reddit isn’t dead.
I still go on reddit. In a lot of ways it’s a lot worse than it used to be. It’s way more corporate. Huge portions of the site seem sanitized, often in obvious and eyeroll inducing ways. There’s also a lot less content in general. The content that does exist is lower effort, and way more repetitive.
However in some ways it’s genuinely better. The discourse is a lot less toxic than it used to be. A lot of genuine cruelty wrapped in virtue signaling that defined the site from 2018 to 2022 is either gone or greatly diminished. It’s also slightly less of an echo chamber.
I think what happened is that after the mobile apocalypse, a lot of the power users left the platform. While these people contributed a lot to the site, they were also extremely toxic people with an even more warped worldview.
The mods are a reflection of this. They are more corporate, which leads to a lot of censorship like this. However it also means that scrolling is quite a bit more pleasant.
Overall I spend more time on Reddit than Lemmy. There’s very little content here once you filter out all the outrage bait.
Digg died. Reddit will also die eventually.
Or, hear me out, maybe people were tied of way too many posts in the community being about recent politics, so moderators took action on that?
It’s not a good look to be broadly banning those words, but it seems to me like there’s a reasonable and obvious expansion.
that’s easily dissuaded by no re-posts or reddits algorithm burying those. The problem was more likely because they were popular and highly engaged so they had to step in. Fucking “spez” is in there and you still feel the need to play devil’s advocate?
Usually when I’m tired of reading about a subject I just don’t click on those threads, I don’t censor people

I didn’t ask for excuses for the censorship
I misread and deleted the comment almost as soon as I wrote it because I thought you were talking about Lemmy.
Maybe because he is a popular opinion /s
Unpopular Opinion: Reddit admins are doing a great job and I’m ever so sad I don’t visit anymore.
Now that’s an unpopular opinion
Last time I visited it it was full of climate deniers and other alternative facts
“Mario’s brother”
“The Mansion Owner”
“Splattered Brain Thompson”
“CE Oh shit the consequences of my actions!”
“Wa-Waluigi”
Mr. L, aka “the Green Thunder”.
“Gooigi”
“Green Man”
“The Italian”
“The Adjuster”
“L Man”
“LM”
“LLM”
And so on and so forth

I don’t see The Adjuster there 😏
Oh boy, time to breakout the non-ASCII look-a-like characters! Lol
Reddit mods being power tripping cucks as usual.
That part is the exact same and worse here. Lemmy is not really decrentralized, it’s just fractured. Each community still have just one “big one” by design.
Difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can legit say “I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and expect it to make an impact.
Whereas with Reddit, whatever Spez says is law, even if it’s as consistent as bird shit on a car windscreen.
“I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and it will have the same systemic structure that perpetuates underhanded unaccountable shadow moderation and the concentration of power into the hand of a few individuals who just happened to be at the right place at the right time and cannot realistically be avoided or dislodged until an absolutely monumental fuckup on their part that it can’t be ignored.
It’s becoming clear that Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as. And this NFT rigamarole certainly isn’t going to be that either.
Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.
Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as.
Marketed? Lemmy is not a company and there is no marketing department. Generally, what you know about Lemmy is word of mouth from people who used it before you. No one controls the narrative in the end.
Instances are moderated by their moderators. Other instances that would rather not associate with a different instance can withdraw federation. I think the system works fine.
Green Mario
Reddit unpopular opinion mods are bunch of cretins. They banned me for posting unpopular opinion 😂
What did you post?
the neckbeard fat lards of the mods are the same here
What is “holiday” on this list for?
Green Mario sure is scary.
The party of Freeze Peach has a lot of trouble dealing with people’s opinions.
Corporate gonna corporate
