That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
What utter bullshit
Um I found a bunch of child molesters, reported them but got banned
But like I stuck around for months after and only left coz the socialist were telling me that the fascists I believe in are destroying the country, the rule of law and its institutions
/s
So the child fucking molesters weren't enough to make you leave but leftist were.
Fuck you
Lol, I'd like to see what they refer to as "extreme leftist political dooming" since it's probable that Lemmy has a relatively higher amount of material that would fit the bill.
Nervous glance at the towering pile of doom
Hmm? Oh, yes.
"extreme left"
Were they against shit like street executions? Were they in support of shit like free school lunch?
Oh man I hate the extreme left!
I mean, this place is quite a bit further left than Reddit. A lot of leftist stuff on Reddit started getting banned after Elon got his fee-fees hurt over people mocking DOGE.
And, it’s kinda weird that the last straw was the anti-fascism rather than the creeps.
elon is the one initiating the 2 massive purges on reddit, because he complained to his parasocial fan SPEZ twice.
I mean, fuck reddit, but a character that is 18 years old is objectively not a child, nor would sexualizing them be pedopholia.
Also lol, this place is far more left than reddit.
I don't know the specifics, but it wouldn't be the first time artists say one thing for legal reasons but draw kids in sexual situations. "She's actually 2000 years old according to this backstory I made up, so it's OK"
Yeah, I was thinking it was one of those situations.
No, making a justification as to why an adult looks like a child does not make the situation less pedo-coded.
I've seen lucky star (like 15 years ago), there's no sex that I can remember being referenced.
It was just girls slice of life.
the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
...So you came here? 🤨
Ah yes, the Fediverse the bastion for check notes anarchists, socialists, communists, and other leftists. With three instances being known as the Tankie Triad. The major conservative communities are for leftists to make fun of conservatives.
Yup, no extreme left political thinking here.
but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
I always say this to people who have left Reddit for some reason and land on Lemmy:
Brother, you left New York and landed in New Jersey. It's the same doom here, if not worse. We are reddit's Alaska, made up of weirdos, outcasts, the socially damned, and Linux-philliacs.
Welcome, but don't get too excited.
I really don't understand what both you and OP mean with "leftist doomerism". I can completely understand if you have a different leaning and don't wish to be part of a community that mostly disagrees with you, but is talking of the problems of the world "doomerism" to you?
This isn't like reddit at all! Not even a bit! Here the up votes are blue!
No it's red. Everyone can have their own prefered expreience, unlike over on reddit, where you must do as corporate demands.
lemmy.world is very similar to reddit in many ways
I'm banned from "You Should Know" and only found out recently, got no clue why. Reminds me of those random reddit bans.
I was gonna mention that line in my own comment, but I'm glad someone else mentioned it.
This place is literally the exact opposite of reddit in that regard. We welcome the overwhelming leftist political dooming. It grounds us in reality.
Fuck u/spez.
The reddit CEO is probably in the Epstein files too
while 18, had very child like designs.
Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it wrong. And it is absolutely legal if they are 18+, at least where I live it is.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that
No wonder you were banned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos
No they were not pedos by any reasonable standard if the characters were above 18.
EDIT PS:
If this was really about pedophilia, the correct place to report it is the authorities, and not to some moderators so they can hide the evidence.
The fact that this NEVER happened, shows that OP knows he was just pearl clutching, and didn't actually have a case.
Help me understand: was this a subreddit you participated in for months or longer, before encountering a wave of objectifying comments? Or is it more like, you were a newb to the sub when you started pestering mods about a tone that was already established as normalized there?
And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.
Genuine question, what does this mean? Is this slang about minors?
One of the earliest recorded uses of the term "cunny" appears in an October 25th, 1668, diary entry by Samuel Pepys in which he describes being caught having an affair, writing, "Endeed I was with my main [hand] in her cunny. I was at a wonderful loss upon it."[1] The term likely evolved as a pun on the word "coney," (pronounced phonetically as "cunny") an old term for a rabbit.[2]
Well yeah, spez doesn't allow any criticism of Elon Musk. Of course they'll have to allow any other /s
spez wants to emulate/in love with musk thats why
Welcome! We don't have pedos, but we do have our fair share of extremist leftists. I'd advice against visiting communities on the hexbear and lemmygrad instances if you are not pro-communism/russia/china.
Furthermore you might want to read up on the idea of "instances" and what makes the fediverse different from lemmy. It helps explain how communities work here, but you can also just figure it out on the go.
The lemmy.ml instance, for example, is the OG instance. It has a few far-left communities and users, but plenty of a-political communities and user as well.
My isntance, sh.itjust.works, is a general-purpose instance based in Canada.
You're on PieFed, which is different from Lemmy for some reason haha.
As far as I can tell, Piefed exists because some people didn't like that the lemmy devs are communists.
I haven't looked into piefed, I'm exclusively going off what pro-piefed/anti-lemmy users have said.
That's not right. If anything, the problem would be that they support aggressive authoritarian regimes or that they're more anti-west than communist.
