The mods over there are hardcore power trippers. And when I say power trippers, I really mean capricious, vindictive, hypocritical, arbitrary cunts.
They are over here too! A mod on world news on lemmy.ml was saying that Ukraine probably bombed their own people yesterday. Then when evidence came out that it was Russia he deleted his comment and everyone's involvement with the conversation calling him out
a mod on lemmy.ml
Well there's your problem.
Yeah I'm currently browsing everything and filtering out communities I absolutely don't want to see. Unfortunately that's the experience most new users will have here on lemmy too, and think that represents the vibe across the whole platform.
I've blocked dozens of porn communities in a month.
yeah, TONS of furries too. It used to be you could just block lemmynsfw.com (and have an alt account just for that instance if you like) but now new communities are popping up on random instances. I never know whether to block the whole instance or just the community every time.
FYI, if you’re not interested in that stuff at all, some instances block all that for you.
Well there’s your problem.
I can't help but not read that in the Bostonian accent of the guy on the podcast now. I didn't even like the podcast much and only listened to one or two episodes, but, well, theeyrs yer praahblem.
Funny, I was actually thinking of Adam Savage on MythBusters.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That mods username doesn't start with a z does it?
🏅
Yup, I was also banned from talking about China and Uyghurs on world news on lemmy.ml
Not much different from Lemmy really. Atleast on reddit you get a message that you have been banned.
Dude, lemmy has a modlog that shows you everything.
Open the webpage, scroll to the bottom.
Yeah, but you don't get a notification.
Maybe not. However it would be hard to say whether this is malicious or whether it's just a development oversight on a pre-1.0 version. Or just the moderator's lack of due action.
Either way, though, I'd prefer no notification but a mod log to reddit's way, where sometimes they would notify you but other times they would shadow ban.
Yeah! Shadow banning really is awful.
Yeah I know, but unless you regularly go there to search for your name you might be shouting into the void for a month before you realize no one is hearing.
Lemmy is worse on one hand and better on the other. You could be banned from an instance for much more spurious reasons than you'll be banned on Reddit, but you then you can just move to another instance.
I've had the opposite experience.
On Reddit I've actually had to self-censor my comments to avoid them from being nuked from orbit by Automoderator. I legit can't use words like 'incel', 'OnlyFans', 'e-girl', 'Trump' etc on most subreddits. It actually feels liberating to be able to speak my mind here.
Idk about much more spurious reason, could just be a specific mod thing that you came across on here but not on reddit. I could be wrong but I don't see any reason lemmy would be worse on this metric.
By spurious I mean there is a wider pool of weaker reasons for banning.
Would you think the frequency and application of bans on say lemmygrad would be more or less spurious than Reddit or lemmy.world, for example?
I haven't personally interacted with that instance afaik, but I have heard people say it's much worse
true but this is an admin ban (sitewide). they are still arsehols
