I'd you disagree with the wrong mod or say something "offensive" banned. They look at your appeal and nothing changes.

At this point it's just adult children "working" in their parents basement not making any money.

    Bro if you comment in a subreddit the mods don't like you're instantly banned, even if ironic. Mods over there are on a power trip and the lack of a modlog means zero accountability.

    Even with a modlog, the mods are clearly removing comments. I can't tell you how many times I'll click on a link that reads anywhere from 10-25 "more comments in this thread," only for it to tell me there are no more comments when I click to load them.

    I don't know how bans work over here, but I have seen lemmings complain that they got banned temporarily, but never got any notifications of the ban.

    It's clearly better than what happened to Reddit, but there still seem to be some bad faith actors about.

    Well yeah they're going to exist everywhere. But with Lemmy you have some accountability. On reddit you have none.

    As for bans with no notifications, that's not on the mods. That is on the developers of Lemmy and why so many people are frustrated with them. They're ignoring admins, have no real timeline on feature development, and aren't focusing on major issues that have been reported. The Lemmy Devs keep dragging their feet and if they're not careful it could end up with someone making a lemmy competitor that still works with Lemmy. I know I'd go straight for it as a mod and as a user.

    I used to go to the The Last of Us subreddit to just vent about the horrible writing in the second part of the game. Jesus, that was s cult. People had to create s second subreddit just to criticize the game. Now, the original subreddit calls names and bans anyone mentioning "the other" subreddit.

    Now, I'm from Mexico. The subreddit /r/Mexico is the equivalent to /r/Conservative to the USA. But named after my country, people goes there without knowing this, it's so damn alienating.
