    Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.

        I got permabanned from commenting on r/insaneparents for “giving medical advice” when I was just sharing my own similar experience and saying that a good psychologist helped me put things in perspective. It was my only rule break and they didn’t respond to my messages asking for forgiveness and to be reinstated other than a threat to fully ban me if I kept contacting them… Some mods are shit.

    Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.

    It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.

      This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.

    Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!

    Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.

    I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy

    Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      Ok, but “there, like it used to be” was better than “there” is now, and if “here” could be like “there” used to be, now, it would be better than “there” is now, and its my opinion that if “here, now” was like “there, then” it would be slightly better than “here” is now, and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      FTFY. Devoid of punctuation, this reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee

    Too late… People are reporting posts for literally using the “wrong” words or for someone expressing anger over something. It’s like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

    Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

      I don’t see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
