Reddit

Why are you on Reddit, it is vile and absolutely terrible, better stay away.

My beef with Lemmy:

• It’s weighted towards politics
• Not a lot of niche sub critical mass yet (though this is not its fault at all)
• But holy moly, it’s a political purity test! Like, I think of myself as pretty socialist, way far off center, but I feel totally alone veering off certain topics or even acknowledging certain things! I’m (mostly) not getting banned, and I am not leaving, but still.

Both of these posts are complaining about their accounts being banned, which happened because they (at least one of them) posted low effort questions and therefore got lots of downvotes and got automatically banned by a system meant to ban bots and trolls. The irony is that reddit has major problems with their automatic moderation which you yourself as an user is completely powerless to controll, e.g. recently when a massive amount of nsfw subreddits were banned for being unmoderated which they later admitted was erroneous.

I've noticed a rise of Bot Moderators on reddit and their AI is not very good. They pick up on certain words and not context. One banned me for 3 days for harassment but I was defending myself against someone that was being antagonistic against me. My appeal was rejected :(

Lol. Lemmy feels more like reddit than reddit.

I wonder why? I have been here for a couple of days and it's nice so far.

Hey this is my first day on Lemmy and my first comment, too! Fun times.

Lemmy tastes like reddit that I have grown in my backyard garden.

It's so weird to read this, because other than a dork messaging me saying they were going to report me to the FBI I've had nothing but a lovely time on Lemmy.

Ima be real everyone is kissing lemmys ass but.. I mean, it feels like reddit? Which is good?

Feels no different from reddit so far lol it's not better or worse, really

Apparently there is a guy called Lemmy LMAO 🤣

Oh no... Anyway.

I don't get the hate this place gets. It's been really interesting watching Lemmy's growing pains over the last two-ish years and all the changes it has undergone. The whole concept of the Fediverse is fascinating to me and has been a genuine delight to explore.

Wait till they hear about reddit

It’s probably Spez with a second hand account

Idk I kind of like Lemmy so far 🤷

yes. extremely dangerous website

Usually when there are more comments than upvotes it means that OP is getting thoroughly roasted

I mean any default experience which includes the ml trio is legitimately vile. The sooner Lemmy gets serious about the tankie problem, the better.

The community could certainly be kinder.

One of these is someone complaining about a ban from automod triggered by tons of downvotes on fresh account. That is, their takes were so shit that they were swept by tool meant for spambots

If the rest of the post is: BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO LIBERAL.

Good. We don't need anyone deterred by that. We do a fine enough job fighting amongst ourselves.

Anybody surprized by this?

This is a marketing issue.

lol, Lemmy is the most benign social media platform i have participated in decades

Where's my vile homies at?! Let's get freaky with some Linux and Star Trek memes.

Conspiracy theory those are actually written by Reddit themselves so people don’t go to the rival
