Dead reddit theory
-
I gave up on reddit the day the mod teams of were allowed to ban you from their community not because you did anything wrong, but because you were a member in another sub that they didn't like.
You gave up on Reddit because mods can ban you for random reasons unrelated to your behavior? That's one of a small set of problems that's literally much worse and more prevalent on Lemmy.

I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.I just wish Lemmy had the same subreddit communities on it, the real benefit of Reddit was that you can add it to your search in Google for niche things and it would find threads about that thing, Lemmy on the other hand has either not been indexed as much or just doesn't have those communities and the organic discussion among them. I think one of the issues with Lemmy is there is some friction to joining it, you need to figure out what an instance is and which one you wanna join and then figure out an app to access Lemmy and then find the communities that interest you etc. Compare that with something like BlueSky for Twitter replacement, it's easy to sign up and follow peoplw and they gave a official app

Yeah what happened to that Lemmy search thing someone was working on

Oh my god, you're a LIFESAVER for the LibRidirect link, thank you! Fucking Instagram and Quora links piss me off too!
Happy to help!

Irony is that people in .ml ban you for not agreeing with their hivemind
How is that ironic?
-
Man, Lemmy on Reddit is like having to listen to someone who constantly brings up their ex in conversation whilst constantly telling you how little they care.
I thought they started shadow banning anyone talking about Lemmy at one point?
-
I've heard this a few times, and then I've seen the people that got banned...
.ml seems to be a magnet for people who want to scream explicatives at leftists and throw in some transphobia to boot.
Some people likely deserve getting banned but they have a very fragile echo chamber if they need to ban anyone not toeing the party line.
I was in an argument with someone on .ml unironically calling north Korea democratic and then they banned me because apparently I'm a "chauvinistic westerner" when I disagreed. I found that pretty hilarious.

People claim Lemmy is supposed to be "better" than Reddit but so far I've encountered more petty barons here than Reddit

It's the same problem Linux suffers from. Too many flavors, not one that almost everyone considers the best.

They have an active moderator base.
I've been banned from plenty of communities already - particularly meme communities - in the wider Fediverse for rubbing a mod the wrong way. It isn't particular to .ml and it's silly to see Lemmyites panic every time they see an .ml instance user or post.
unironically calling north Korea democratic
So what? Plenty of people in America call Florida democratic. You'll be screamed at for suggesting otherwise (Florida voters are just too stupid to vote correctly, you see).
If you get in a pissing contest with a mod or power user, there are plenty of communities that will ban you for being toxic. Either learn to exit the conversation gracefully or stop sticking your dick in the social media blender to begin with. You're probably better off getting banned than running back in for another screaming match.

Ah OK. To be fair, we can say Luigi Mangione and Free Palestine here.

Im pretty sure I am on a Canadian based instance... which is fine by me. But I tried a couple that where branded as general, good for new users, and just never got a confirmation for my account, could never log in. I tried this one, cause the name implied it would work. And it did!
But yea I miss the large communities for a specific video game, and the various large mtg communities. And yea, for tech support I do still add reddit to my search queries.

So you gave up on it like a decade ago?

Outside of the conservative American subreddits that's standard too though. I rarely see anyone (not downvoted to hell) claim Israel should continue

I'd argue NK and Florida are on different levels of democratic but I see your point.
You're probably right with your last paragraph. I do find it amusing to read when they bend backwards trying to defend something that absurd.

Your account has been banned.
If you ever make another account it will be automatically banned because our app requires your fucking MAC address.

Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.After being there for 12 years, I was banned for no reason I know of. Appealed it a bunch of times and finally gave up. Done with reddit. Maybe I'll grab content from there for here.
