Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.
One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.
Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.
So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.
I feel like there’s a difference between various moderators power-tripping on their own little fiefdoms, and a site wide policy.
One would think that banned content couldn’t be voted upon. Sounds like reddit is using any excuse to censor any use other than “sponsored”.
I got suspended because I was banned from a sub years ago on a different account, and I can’t block that subreddit. Accidentally commented on r/all, instantly suspended for ‘ban evasion’. I didn’t make a secret of the alt account, I made it to avoid doxxing. I didn’t want to comment on the subreddit, I’d block it from my feed if I could. Reddit knew I was banned and could have just kept me from posting there in the first place. Instead, suspension for evasion. Their whole setup is truly bizarre.
Anyway it dramatically reduced my doomscrolling so it wasn’t a bad thing
Reddit has begun sucking trump’s dick. I wondered if it had anything to do with musk plying his evil across the internet.
Oh well… Thanks for responding! Have a great weekend!
you too friend!
Welp, just moved into Lenny, hello yall
Hello. There are thousands of us!
We’re beyond dozens?!?!
Hey to everyone moving in from reddit. Don’t forget that lemmy can’t fill the void you’re trying to fill without content.
Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, we have infrastructure, we just need more creators on it.
Genuine Question: What do you think of ATProtocol and the apps for it: Bluesky, Spark, Flashes?
I don’t use the protocol, so I can’t give much opinion
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.
The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.
Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here’s everyone that upvoted this thread.
Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
I think all reactions should be exposed.
Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
