better mods
highly instance dependent.
Yeah I mean look what instance this was posted on.
Probably they will ban me just for saying that.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about .world or .ml and the funny thing is that both of those would accuse the other of being the bad one
At least we have choices outside of those two, and open logs to peruse
lemmy aint that private, and possibly easily scrapable
As all sites should be. I’m on the internet, mr world wide. When did we expect privacy. Don’t put nothing online you don’t want the world to know.
I used to think like this, but it’s a bit more nuanced./ If you tell people they can’t have any expectation of privacy, it’s essentially telling people of persecuted minorities that they’re not welcome.
Perfect privacy is impossible, but it shouldn’t be trivial to violate someone’s privacy when their membership of such a community is relevant.
To be honest, privacy is not a major concern of mine and wasn’t a factor in my decision making at all. Things like messages not being e2e encrypted don’t really bother me that much.
I tried going back to Reddit after a year and a half away. It’s literally unusable now. Got banned from like 5 subs and Reddit within 2 days whereas before my account was 7 years old without a ban. You literally can’t say anything there anymore without offending someone or starting a fight and you’ll get banned right away for any dissent or wrong think. Every mod is ban happy and if you say anything beyond a one word, vanilla answer, you get banned. It’s absolute trash, like I said I made it there for 7 years without a ban, now it’s just frustrating to get banned from every other sub for every other comment. And every post you put up gets taken down right away for one reason or another
I’m currently a public enemy on reddit (as in, they ban every account they find that could possibly be me) because I made a comment stating that Egyptians (I’m egyptian) are not zionists. This was in response to someone saying that Egyptians actually hate palestinians and support israel.
I got permabanned, then they proceeded to permaban every account I made, after the first, the one that lasted the longest (and last) lasted 3 months until It was flagged again for saying “I don’t debate zionists” which reddit considers hate, they removed the 3 day ban I got for that but didn’t remove the permaban the account got for being associated with my old account (used on the same device).
Basically each time I’m banned from a subreddit or temporarily banned from reddit itself my account gets terminated.
All because I don’t support israel.
I refuse to make another one out of principle
Edit: I can’t stop laughing right now.
THEY ACCIDENTALLY UNBANNED ME
Wow. Zionists have banned me from their reddits for not replying fast enough to their bullshit. That is nuts.
I was permabanned for saying that Lebanese people (I am Lebanese) don’t blame Israel for all of Lebanon’s problems… just the problems that they deserve blame for.
Seeing my nearly 13 year old account guy permabanned for that when these people have been getting away with calling for the genocide and bombing of Lebanese children is as chilling as it is infuriating .
Lots of people seem to be reporting permabans for comments involving Israel
All my bans were related to Israel. My first two bans were for stating that Netenyahu needed to be put on trial and hanged for his crimes. The same way Saddam was hanged and many Nazi war criminals were hanged.
They accused me of calling for violence against an individual, and I cannot see their point. If I said I wanted him to be randomly shot or murdered I would, but I wanted him tried and judicially punished. That is not a threat.
And you might wonder why I suddenly am pro-death penalty when I was anti-death penalty for a long time? Because the scale of these crimes and the brazenness is so severe that I realize I have actually seen a crime that IS worthy of capital punished. The soldiers Who took part in the war crimes also need to be sentenced harshly with a minimum of multidecade sentences and if they are released they would he on a strict parole for the remainder of their lives.
And the fun fact is that Netenyahu is continually the genocide in part because if there is another election and he is replaced, he will likely be convicted of major corruption charges within Israel and spend a lot of time in prison anyway…
If you posted anything close to your post history here, well…
I always wonder who are the creeps that check out strangers post history. Anyways that’s my point, I’m not like you you’re not like me. I don’t like you either but I don’t want you banned because you offend me.
What’s worse is that if you look at both our histories you’re gonna realize we both hate Trump and conservatives, in a person of color. I’m LGBTQ. but you’re one of those people who just creams themselves on division so you look for it, even among your allies. So to you in not a true Scotsman and therefore you can now look down on me and feel better. When at the end of the day we’re both on the same side, even if we don’t jive.
Me over here just vibing by myself on my own self-hosted instance that I pay out of pocket for. I go find communities I like and subscribe to them, and it’s enough to keep me interested and engaged, without most of the bullshit Reddit has.
Exactly this
Uh, no. Better mods is bullshit.
The same powertripping happens here and the admins are just as dismissive.
Can confirm! You banned me from your little community because you were too fragile to hear that your religion is fictitious. On a post complaining that atheists won’t debate you.
It is so invigorating to see you remember me.
You were banned for deliberate intellectual dishonesty, which I had clearly predicted in the thread. Shame I forgot to block you as well. Let me take care of that.
Of course I remember one of the most fragile and hypocritical of all the several dozen regulars on Lemmy.
It’s a shame you want to block me. I like you aside from the massive projection issues. Oh well.
Nahh the mods are irrelevant, they’re human everywhere .
Reddits a turd because its corporate, they’re literally exploiting you for their betterment. I dont understand why people are OK with that but here we are.
I was just re-wiping my Reddit comments with an updated text yesterday and apparently, the word “enshittification” is banned on r/hellsomememes. Seriously?
I miss the content though, and I have too much of a life to create a fediverse community and fill it with content even if it’s stolen. Can somebody break Reddit’s ToS and set up a reposting bot?
r/hellsomememes
Would like to see that community on Lemmy
Can you, or anyone, explain to me how tf to do the text overwriting thing? Like, is it even doable for someone who doesn’t know the first thing about coding?
I am using Shreddit on Linux. It goes through each line in
comments.csvfrom the GDPR export I requested, which is more complete than the data PowerDeleteSuite gets access to. PowerDeleteSuite basically clicks through your comment history on old.reddit.com and submits edit requests, while Shreddit uses the powerful API (it’s not paid for personal use but you need to register the client, see the github page) and will find all comments thanks to the legally-mandated completeness of the GDPR export (if supplied; it will use the API to retrieve the comment list otherwise). BTW, you can alter thecomments.csvfor a custom filter (for example, I want to use a Czech string in Czech subreddits). You can use it on Windows (and it’s an easier installation) but because of non-POSIX shenanigans, newlines in the replacement string won’t work there.If using PowerDeleteSuite, make sure to download the log file it supplies before you close the window or your original comment content will be lost!
I insulted a mod unknowingly on a subreddit like a decade ago (all I said was that his advice was idiotic) and since then every time I mistakenly post on that subreddit, my account get permabanned and then all my other accounts get permabanned as well. What a completely stupid website.
This happened to me for a Pro palestine comment.
Today they accidentally unbanned me because they can’t even run their platform properly.
My account has an “suspension appeal rejected” message and is still running, fucking hell
They didn’t even say anything, the account Is just suddenly not banned anymore
FYI, you seem to be new here and seem not to be far-left. For your future enjoyment of lemmy, note that Lemmy.ML is a communist instance and therefore you may not like some of the content there.
I don’t hold any ideological leanings and don’t mind communists and marxists.
What do you mean by “privacy” on the lemmy side? And aren’t the mods mostly the same mods that were active onnreddit before?
Removed by mod
i just choose (other than lemmy) irc and some random obscure chatroom hidden in a webcomic
hi, just created my account and installed voyager to browse on my phone. its great so far, I hope it’ll last and I can ditch reddit entirely. Trying to find more interest-based fediverses, anyone know where to look?
I’m not sure if mods are a proper criteria when it comes to comparing Lemmy and Reddit. The audience is mostly the same and Lemmy doesn’t automatically make people/mods better or worse.
Also, you forgot one major point: API! I get to use and support my third party app of choice Sync here on Lemmy which was killed off by Reddit.
I want to choose Lemmy but I use Reddit more because Lemmy has technical problems, it keeps logging me out after days or few weeks, Reddit keeps my session for months or years
Logging you out from the website of your Lemmy instance or from a mobile app?
If the latter, try changing app. If the former, try contacting your instance admin, or see if there’s a mod/admin community. Worst case scenario, move to another instance.
Staying here and reporting issues would help Lemmy, you know? Much more than just complaining it isn’t as stable and mature as a commercial product developed by a company for years.
Have you tried to change instances? I’ve tried a couple and didn’t had this issue so far.
