    Careful, winning an argument with a mod earns a free lifetime ban.

    So just like the old subreddit then? Weird how that piece of culture sticks with them.

      The difference is that on Reddit I got suspended from the entire site for “report abuse” because I (correctly) reported misinformation in r/conservative and it hurt the snowflake mods’ fee-fees.

      In other words, Lemmy is structurally superior because there are no fascist admins with the power to ban you from the entire network.

        Lmao, I reported genocidal comments in r/worldnews and was site banned for the same reason.

        I had 4 reports total, 2 were acted on and the other 2 were pretty blatant calls to violence.

        It’s actually what made me quit Reddit.

          For my “worldnews” ban, I called someone out for ONLY posting pro-israel content, from biased Israeli media sources, and how every comment under all their posts that disagreed were downvoted into oblivion 😅

          The upvote/downvotes for my comment were shifting by dozens of votes in both directions for DAYS. It was hilarious

              It’s funny that you call us tankies when it’s Democrats and Republicans who gladly support a trillion and a half dollars a year being shipped off to war.

                Idk if it is just me but lemmy has appeared to have a massive right wing shift, at least a huge influx of liberals unable to have a conversation without blindly slinging accusations. A lot of people on lemmy now unable to comprehend unhappiness with the system, singing praises to the status quo and woefully inadequate reforms at best. Welcome to election season I guess.

          Site bans don’t carry the same weight here though. You get site banned, you can still be on all the other sites. With Reddit, a site ban means you can’t access the whole network.

          Meanwhile I got no questions asked appeal denied lifetime banned from Reddit for saying “I should totally be allowed to punch Nazis”.

          I always mentally append “Nazi sympathizers” to reddit now…

          I got an account wiped out because I explained how Merari01 (a powermod with powers in hundreds of subreddits, plenty of them among the top 100 subscribers) permanently banned people in r/ContraPoints for complaining about its mods banning people for participating in third subreddits, without even checking what sort of comments they had there. I got a perma for one comment in a subreddit that didn’t even show up in r/all. Back then, I looked for comments of people complaining about Merari01 in the whole site, and the only thing I could find was another powermod explaining that Merari01 had always been involved in drama with other mods and was possibly grooming a minor.
