Ran into a bunch of pro russian posts and bots. Gave them so much hell they had to run to reddit admins so now I have a three day ban. Apparently saying "good luck with that 21% interest rate and linking to the song 'speed the collapse" is hate speech.

I would recommend yall never ever return. I miss some old communities but even when you return you find they are all gone anyway. Some came here, others discord et ad nauseum. The light is gone there, its facebook, a desert. Come here and help us short rddt.

    I stop in when I'm on a computer to check three subreddits that are directly related to my trade, and a fourth that is for my local community. The rest is pretty shit TBH. Even my hobbies are better represented on discord these days

    They gave me three days ban and I decided to delete my account. They can keep their free speech.

    Certain Lemmy instances are not much different from the kindergartens over on Reddit. The same type of kids take over mod roles, forcing everyone to follow their ideology - or else, banned!

    I would fully support the option on Lemmy to block or ban entire instances that suppress free expression or prevent challenging false claims and narratives. I would also fully support the possibility to complain about a mod and even demand his removal as moderator with the possibility of banning even the mod. So, not only top-down, but also bottom-up - but so think the letter is not possible in Lemmy. Only instances can be closed.

    Lol just go restart your modem/router. Unless you're paying for a static IP there is a decent chance it will change.

    I remember seeing a ton of Russian propagandists on Reddit during the first trump election. Many of them hung out in "the Donald" making memes. Later years, it seemed like reddit was cleaning up it's act, but now it's doomed to the worst the Internet has to offer.

    Btw, welcome to Lemmy

  • Reddit fucking sucks.

    The content feels generated, comments feel generated and there's almost no engagement compared to Lemmy.

    You mislabel Ubuntu as a rolling release distro and you'll get 20 replies on Lemmy telling you that you're wrong. Reddit is like the house from Home Alone when Kevin was dancing with cardboard people.

    Eventually it'll all just be bots talking to bots posting "my husband is cheating with my stepsister aita" content

    Which Sub was it?

    I was permanetley banned and politely told to fuck off in 2024 from the site entirely, when people were talking about a possible Trump win, and they talked about how he might actually start helping Russia.

    I responded "if the American government starts giving direct support to an enemy at war that is against the very values that the people support, they'll end up with a dead president" It was flagged as "threats of violence" and when I argued, it was made a permanent ban

    that one is infested with Z, pretending to be "neutral".

    that one will slap you with a tag you cant remove if you sway one way or the other, but its only the Pro-Ukraine people who get ridiculed and attack.
