If a topic is in any way controversial, there’s a good chance it will get removed, when I’m sure the same content wouldn’t get removed on Reddit. I know it depends on subs and instances but I mean more generally, and for example AskLemmy vs AskReddit. Reddit seems to have more leeway for things, whereas Lemmy doesn’t and seems harder on censorship. Not only that but they remove things even when they’re not controversial such as when I just asked a question about savory fruit and sweet vegetables that got removed. They also give no reason at all for why things get removed nor any notice of its removal until you realise later. It happens so frequently that I wonder if this post will get removed too for some reason.
I am on Lemmy because on Reddit, a subreddit moderator went through my post history, saw me complaining about them taking down a post for no reason, and decided that was brigading. They proceeded to have my account banned from Reddit entirely for ban evasion, something I did not do. Whatever Lemmy moderators are or are not removing, I am certain they are more reasonable and judicious than any Reddit moderator.
