I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.
Sorry for any disturb, bye :3
P.S.
Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.
Lemmy is a federated clone of Reddit, and Reddit has more users, so most likely, everyone here has either rejected Reddit, or been banned by Reddit, or they are using both platforms at once to reach a bigger audience.
I am here because I was very dissatisfied with Reddit’s administration and moderation and with the way they screwed app devs.
I’m concerned that Lemmy uses the same basic moderation techniques as Reddit, and so it could fall into the same ruin as Reddit. But for now, the moderators I’ve interacted with here have been straight up legit good people. So I stick around.
If nothing else, Lemmy moderation doesn’t have the corporate input that Reddit has, and currently Lemmy moderators seem to be more likely to perma-ban a real person for being a bot than to let malicious bots exist. Plus it’s pretty hard to get banned for “ban-evasion” on Lemmy unless you’re an obvious troll.
thier recent filters and AI moderation makes it hard to say what you want on there.
I opened my first account in 2012 and I used it for the rest of the decade, then reddit went to shit and I went through another three accounts only lasting several months each for I gave up. Sometimes I still want to go back but everything I see suggests that would be a mistake.
me too, i hope it doesnt become like the same thing it swore to be an alternative too
