i need to know
I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. The thread was full of right wingers so the topmost comments were sexist as shit. Half the thread got banned.
Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.
I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like ‘why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?’
Racist, apparently.
Oh yeah, that’s insane. One sub’s mod banned me because someone was confused over an “F word” someone else was being ambiguous about. I educated them with “I believe they mean “faggot”.” Lol I took that bait but I believe education and strong community spirit is more important than bending the knee to excessive censorship.
Lemmy is catching up on Reddit. The technical forums/c/r are not as useful yet, and not enough of the hardware suppliers monitor the/their Lemmy communities.
Once that changes over I don’t need Reddit.
I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it
banned
decided to finally try the alternative
So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor
Never been banned anywhere except Facebook.
I make a new throwaway every time I go to reddit so Idk maybe I’ve been banned but it’s pretty dumb to ban someone who’s making new accounts with proxies every time.
There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.
I hate reddit. Love lemmy.
Both of those facts can exist at the same time. I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.
Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.
Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn’t offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.
Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.
It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.
Never used reddit
I prefer open and ad free options where possible, but reddit has more stuff so I’m in both places
My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I’m in my late 10s, I’d rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.
