Just instance hop bruv, you cannot be banned or censored from Lemmy.

Enshittification.

It’s insane that there isn’t more pushback against this. Like karma wasn’t enough, they needed to add a hidden gestapo system to degrade user experience even more.

As they should.

True, but the difference in the moderation suite is immense. Reddit makes it laughably easy to ban and black hole users with a single button press. Some users are banned preemptively by auto mod rules and subreddit settings. I believe there are more banned users than active users on most large subreddits.

Honestly the biggest problem is that people don’t fight unfair moderation in the first place. Mods should be shamed for these practices and if they engage in them, every tool at our disposal should be used to annoy them into quitting moderation altogether.
