I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.
Sorry for any disturb, bye :3
P.S.
Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.
The day the API changes went into effect, I logged in here and never looked back.
as soon as reddit went public is when shit starts to hit the fan, spez was and is more susceptible to outside pressure, like from MUSK complaining, thats actually what triggered the purges this year.
There are purges this year?
Big Time.
I got banned a couple of months ago over a metaphorically framed post. Was recenly talking to a co worker who’s gotten back into No Man’s Sky since the last update that added ship building and he hit the NMS sub on Reddit looking for help and was shocked to see how many posts and users had been deleted - from a decidedly non-political sub with some of the lowest drama out of all the gaming ones.
Reddit seems to be purging the oldest members with over a decade of being on the site the most aggressively.
Also, I tried to delete my account and it would not do it. So it seems it’s banning users but not removing the accounts as some way to pad the site’s user base numbers.
I had a hell of a time getting my unarchived posts deleted. The site kept kicking me out and refusing to let me at my posts and comments. Took me logging in with different computers to get everything I could delete, removed.
They are definitely gaming numbers and hoarding user’s data.
Bad form, that.
