    I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either
    I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better.
    So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

      I got banned for inciting violence for saying Monty Williams should invest all the money he stole from Detroit back into the city and then promptly be killed with hammers as a sort of ritual sacrifice to cleanse Little Caesars Arena of his bad juju. It was just a joke and had lots of upvotes but guess it hurt a mods feelings.

              I was new user, was using Reddit week or so, got suspended/shadowbanned twice in a week, for... something? I was just talking about Linux, Open Source and Browsers, and then BOOM! screw you new user. Reddit is buggy mess.

                  Really? It's weird, I thought Reddit was more left-wing, but it seems that's not the case at all.

                          Right wingers have been falsely screaming "anti-conservative bias" on every social media platform for so long that admins and moderators have aquiested. It's not true, of course. Right wingers simply break the TOS and violate site rules far more often than left wingers.
