    I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

      Bruh, at least you just got banned “for” something. I got shadowbanned, and for seemingly no reason at all! I made some very neutral comments in fandom subreddits, and only when I looked at the pages logged out, I realized the comments were not showing up. I can only guess it was either my location, my custom domain email, or a combination of both.

        I had that happen too. Conversations with people would just dissapear. I’m done there. I can’t say anything even slightly edgy without getting banned. I got banned from a sub for saying mods will kill reddit. I got a permanent hate speech ban for a fantastic joke.

        “I can’t show you the evidence of Haitians eating pets. They already ate all the evidence.”

        I like the reddit form of consuming information but that place you either get in line or get silenced. The equivalent of r/politics is far left on here too so that might be a bad sign for this site though lol.

          Urm… You’re describing a completely different situation, you got banned for something you said and maybe by mods. I am describing a situation of being silenced for seemingly no reason and without even warning me!

      What’s really fascinating is how many of the advice communities for certain sexual practices are run by bona fide rapists.

      Reddit permabanned me. I pissed off too many mods, made too many new accounts, now I guess my ip is caught in their spam filter or something. Crazy thing, I never posted anything offensive. I could be posting about playing GTA and somebody I pissed off in another thread would report me for “advocating violence”, which is an autoban basically.

      Add to that the “your karma is too low” or “your post doesn’t include xyz” shit and the site is becoming unusable.

        If it’s like that on lemmy.ca then why not go to a different Lemmy host or make your own. Both things that are not an option for Reddit

        Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it’s not nearly as bad or easily abused. Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.

      And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.

        Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.

        What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion? It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.

        For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.

          Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.

            OK let’s try.

            Zionist are blood thirsty monster

            Hamas are terrorists

            Hezbollah has no dicks left (wore pager in front) And no one in america who isn’t a vile glowie, can put these shitholes countries on the map

            And none, NONE of us gives the slightest wind of a fart about anyone in the mideast.

            Stop Zogging our governments for goddamned free bombs, you fucking bunch of revolting murdereous assholes.

            That should do it ! Text me if you can still read this in a week.

        You are at -20 and I can still read you just fine. On reddit they would have banned you, got you fired from your job and stolen your cat.
