It’s so short sighted, I can’t get my head round it. Why are they doing this to themselves

Christ on a bike. At first I thought people weren’t being truthful when they said they were banned for miniscule things but there’s just so many of you. It’s unbelievable

Oooh that’s clever.

Yep, that’s the sad reality of it. I’ve lived in multiple forums since back when it was all message boards. It always falls apart in the end

Yes that’s what I’ve found! There’s less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it’s like reddit used to be years ago. I’ve missed all that and I’m so glad I found lemmy. ☺️

Hey fellow redfugees!

This is just ridiculous

I agree. At most send an advisory message reminding the poster of rules and not to post worse. AT MOST. And I say that as someone who condemns the CEO murder and I don’t agree with Luigi being glorified in any way.

Fair point

Yep and it’s discretionary. You can’t win as a mod you’ll never make everyone happy… it’s a lot of work for zero pay or thanks

Love your name BTW its adorable

Oh this is GENIUS. Make it obviously ridiculous so misinformation doesn’t actually get out. Something like “if you don’t have eggs for a cake, just substitute them for bacon and sweet potato fries! Make sure you mix them thoroughly with the butter and itll turn out great”

I swing right overall. But holy shit nothing would make me post on twitter (which I refuse to call X cos it’s fucking absurd)

What’s moderating like on reddit?

Yes and it lacks a simple explanation. “Insta is pictures and reels” “Twitter is short sentences or images”. “Ah well lemmy is a selection of instances that etc etc etc” puts people off

No users means no money surely?

Omg!! I love that idea. !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone would be the perfect community to host that they just got set up @EnthusiasticNature94@lemmy.blahaj.zone could you do that? `

I haven’t and I won’t. Lemmy is a far more positive atmosphere with less content, but better quality content. There’s less overt manipulation and not everything is politicised. I just don’t trust reddit

To me your comment was clearly a joke. There’s nothing serious about it, you’re not rallying others, there’s no vitriol or aggression. Warn or shadow ban, fine. Perma ban is excessive.

I think everyone should spam reddit with these so called “violent” posts. So they have to ban all active accounts. Then they’ll realise they’re being ridiculous
