I joined because Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and toxic behaviour. Lemmy is still completely open-sourced, while Reddit isn’t at all now. Also, when you first sign up on Reddit currently, you get completely ignored now and can’t post or comment on regular subs.
I got banned on one for posting my above averaged hog…
ha mine is below average, didn’t stop them from banning me though. Someone probably thought it was too ugly to be real or something lmfaoo.
Yea if that sub was NSFW, that’s fucked up that they banned you.
Yeah, they are getting a little too comfortable with the ban hammer over there. I’ve been reading threads of others that had the same thing happen to them. Soo glad I’m not alone and so glad I found this place!
I got banned for accidentally using “far right extremist terminology” lol. I’m still not entirely sure what I did wrong
Yep! I’ve known people to get banned for using far left terminology and with nothing threatening either being said. It seems if you piss off one of the mods on there on one of their bad days, then it can easily be game over for your time in that sub, or even your account. it’s that easy to catch a ban that you probably have less chance of catching a cold lmfao. Reddit has given the mods far too much power. I’m so glad for the Fediverse!
