Also hi there I’m new here
Hey, hope you enjoy! Been here a couple years myself and enjoy it a lot more than Reddit, though I was never banned from it.
mfw people think lemmy is a free safe space until they discover the biggest instance admins are mostly intolerant, impulsive manchilds UwU
You might wanna try out the sorting “scaled” when browsing “all” to find new communities (or check out every c/newcommunity that interests you)
But warning: scaled in all can have a lot of porn if you have nsfw on
You can also just use an instance that defederates from porn, so NSFW can just be for shocking or otherwise violent things.
It’s not really that much better here. People jumping the gun constantly.
Depends on the instance really.
I got a 3-day ban recently for a call to action and plea to arm up and overthrow Trump. (Something along the lines of “We should do as some of our founding fathers intended and arm ourselves to deal with this tyranny”)
Reddit: By Bots; For Bots.
I got banned for calling an antivaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
Well, statistically they’ll use less oxygen than the rest of us, to be fair.
I got perm banned for saying on a post about Nazis in South Dakota gathered on the Capitol steps, I said I was in the mood to punch some Nazis in the face. Reddit can suck it.
What got you banned? I said mean things about Elon Musk.
I got banned for saying in a Captain America thread that I’d love to see a version of the classic Captain America comic book cover where Cap punches Trump intead of Hitler.
I was apparently inciting violence.
Praise the fediverse!
Rules for thee, not for me.
The Right can incite violence and engage in cruelty against their targets of oppression and opposition, consequence free, both online and offline. Meanwhile, the Left isn’t even allowed to publically speak our thoughts and belief in numerous circles and places and even our supposed “allies” (aka, the average working class protester) typically push us down and suppress us because “violence is bad :(”.
Reddit is such a weird place. A lot of left-leaning people are still on there, even though spez worships Elon and even named Elon as the “inspiration” for all the stupid shit he did to Reddit.
I’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.
My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.
As am I. Apparently the Zionists subreddit mods don’t like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.
You’re not supposed to compare apples to other very similar apples. It upsets people.
I like the type of person coming here because of that. welcome to lemmy, we have memes too.
Well yea, because it’s cute when they do it.
Yay, I’m not alone! Sarcastically pointing out that Israel has a right to unalive and fondle American children is frowned upon.
It’s always good to keep your options open. The fediverse has set up guardrails to prevent things from happening here that have already happened out there but anything can fail. I myself have an account on ramble if shit goes bad here. Always have an escape route. Have no loyalty, that will be abused.
Me too. I commented on a post about a shooting and sarcastically asked how folks were going to blame it on trans people this time. Permabanned!
Reddit is nearly 100% AI bots these days on the popular subs. You’re good to get away. The interface over here is shite and takes forever to figure out, but the people are nice.
Except me. I’m evil.
Hi evil, I’m dad
Can I have 20 bucks?
Go ask your mother
Never heard of him
Say the wrong thing here and you can get banned too.
the wrong thing
Rules exist.
Like what?
Allow me to demonstrate…
“RUST IS THE BEST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND USING ANYTHING ELSE IN 2025 IS IRRESPONSIBLE!”
