Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon! (www.reddit.com)

It's funny how they don't show you the comment.

I just got permabanned within a minute or so of posting something like "The only way to get Trump out of office is for 100,000 people to drag him out.". Appeal denied even though I said it was hyperbole.

I still like the sheer volume of content on Reddit but they are getting worse all the time.

I don't think this should be an hyperbole. Get to work, now.

The only good Trump is a dead Trump. Wonder if I will get banned for saying that? Curious since I just migrated here from reddit after getting banned for expressing such sentiments.

only the diet-reddit lemmy instances might do that; but i would like to believe that not even they are that red pilled.

I got banned from here as well for saying verified facts with evidence. Its all the admins discretion in the end, and they're political.

Have you considered a more reasonable instance? I used to be on .world myself. Used to...

Check their modlog, they were banned for being a bigot.
