I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.

Sorry for any disturb, bye :3

P.S.

Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.

    The answer to your question is “essentially everyone”. Either hated Reddit, hated the changes, hated the app restrictions, and/or got Permabanned over nothing.

    I think social media should not be connected to big tech billionaries. Call me crazy. :)

    Was perma banned in Reddit a few years ago for discussing ACA compliance. I saw it coming for awhile, the any comment I made no matter how inauspicious was flagged over the course of a few weeks.

    After banning I was unable to post on any of my accounts. But I could change prior comments so I used an app to generate AI gibberish and replace years of comments and participation with AI bullshit to salt the earth for Reddit.

    Before you leave I recommend doing the same.

    I used to be here because reddit sucks, but now I’m here because lemmy is so much better. Yes, there are memes, but there is also a LOT more genuine conversations to have.

    I’m not banned, but I’m here because Reddit essentially in active decay. It’s old. All the community names are taken. Some taken years ago. The site is too big to be effectively maintained by admins, leaving many communities badly-run, half-abandoned and being swamped by bots, trolls and whatever else. You can’t grow anything there.

    You can on the Fediverse. Community discoverability is by far much better on here, and the federated structure of it means that no-one can camp on communities to stop others from making it. You can just be replaced by someone else if you run it poorly.

    There are many other problems too such as the site using AI to ban people, buggy notification system etc.

    I’m here after Reddit perm banned me for no reason and ban evasion failed. I submitted a ban appeal before discovering here but now that I have, I don’t think I’ll go back to reddit even if I get unbanned, this place is so nice.
