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.
I wasn’t banned, I just hate the official app and the overwhelming number of bots and ads. So I gave it up, and Lemmy fills that commenting niche for me. My account is still live on reddit, though. There’s like 12 years of old comments and sometimes I like reading through them to see how stupid I used to be.
I have been working through deleting reddit comments. Then reddit repopulates them because they are hit by a Google search. So so I go through and delete them again.
When reddit blocked my favorite mobile app, I bailed. So I am now on connect for Lemmy. It works almost seemlessly now with a few bugs. It’s basically the same user experience as the old Tapatalk for forums that they made almost 20 years ago now. A good user interface is a good userinterface.
I never bothered deleting any of my comments, but my understanding was that the best way to get rid of them was to use a script to automatically edit the text content to some static message like “This comment has been removed by the user in protest.”
Can’t do it if banned sadly, deleting posts just removed your name
Oh yeah, getting banned puts you in a weird in-between space where you basically have no control anymore. Makes me want to just avoid participating altogether.
