      I haven’t used Reddit for years but I get a lot more timeouts and comment removals here than I ever did over there.

          You just said “Nuh uh” and then completely agreed with everything I said. And then quite suspiciously your comment gained more upvotes than comments made hours earlier than it, almost instantly.

        To be fair, they really ramped it up on Reddit, however I think Lemmy just depends on the community and instance. I mean, hell, 196 split up kind of over this stuff (or at least, that was the initial trigger imo).

        If you find yourself censored on World, there’s quite a few other options (although usually farther left or tankie). Folks just need to host their own versions of things, although we rarely see more conservative folks bothering. Given how federation works, it’s actually a wonder there isn’t a Truth Social style community out there for most of us to block. >.>

        Remit removes all the time, but they shadow remove so you never get a notification or anything.

          That’s ultimately what pissed me off into deleting my account. If I even say the name Luigi my post is automatically shadow removed? I don’t want to spend any time on a platform like that.

        Oh, absolutely dude… People on here are absolutely the thinnest skinned I think I’ve ever seen on the internet, bar none. And they all seem to want to start shit over something and then act astonished and run to mods for help if they get any sort of response in kind.

        Hey, here’s a thought: If you wanna talk shit to people, you probably shouldn’t be shocked if you get it right back… And if you have to then go get a mod because you’re now butthurt over a fight you picked? What, was your mom busy or something? 🤣😂 Cuz that’s the exact energy I get from that

          That is partially because some of the refugees from Reddit, happen to be assholes. So they go and make instances thinking that they’ll be better than their Reddit counterparts, only to demonstrate that they are just as bad and probably showcasing the reasons why.

          I don’t get what kind of communities and posts y’all are hanging out in where people talk shit and start shit 🥴

          I’ve mostly only had proper interactions with folks here. Some miniscule percentage of rude assholes who are looking for a reaction, but other than that, much smoother than Reddit ever was.

              Much rarer in my experience also. I am much more at peace here, and find myself much less inclined to frantically refresh my inbox when having conversations here.

              Notifications here make me excited in a good way, rather than raise my blood pressure like they did on Reddit.

            It’s always the stupidest shit for me, tbh… Like yesterday there was a post of an (obviously fake) tweet from Dave Ramsey (a “Christian” ~~financial consultant/planner ~~ grifter) that said ‘fuck your 401k, go buy that truck you want now’ or something to that effect, which led to a few conversations in the comments that revolved around what was essentially the cost effectiveness of actually following the (clearly horrible) tweet’s advice.

            This one dude makes a comment in which he basically says “no, that makes sense. Used car values are on a bell curve and will sell for more than what you purchased it for 30 years ago at around the same rate of return youd get from an index fund” in not so many words. Now, I’m not in financing (or cars tbh), and tbf I do a pretty heroic amount of drugs generally speaking, but I’m almost certain that that’s not how ANY of that works… lol So i made a little comment politely saying so, laying out my logic for my position, and making sure to explicitly state that I’d be more than open to being proven wrong, but I wanna see some proof, which I didnt think was too awfully crazy or anything until dude replied shortly after babbling that I just needed to look it up, and something about hilux(?); I dunno, just being kind of a prick, demanding I find his proof for him, and then complaining about me (or people on lemmy in general, maybe?) cant take jokes so seriously. Big ‘do your own research’, MAGA, ‘it WaZ A PraNK bRo’ energy.

            I can link it if anyone is having SRD withdrawls or something lol
