    I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

      Bruh, at least you just got banned “for” something. I got shadowbanned, and for seemingly no reason at all! I made some very neutral comments in fandom subreddits, and only when I looked at the pages logged out, I realized the comments were not showing up. I can only guess it was either my location, my custom domain email, or a combination of both.

        I had that happen too. Conversations with people would just dissapear. I’m done there. I can’t say anything even slightly edgy without getting banned. I got banned from a sub for saying mods will kill reddit. I got a permanent hate speech ban for a fantastic joke.

        “I can’t show you the evidence of Haitians eating pets. They already ate all the evidence.”

        I like the reddit form of consuming information but that place you either get in line or get silenced. The equivalent of r/politics is far left on here too so that might be a bad sign for this site though lol.

      And this is where you went? This is literally Reddit’s bias taken to the level of hyperbole. The extremism groupthink here is the primary reason it hasn’t and likely will never go mainstream.

        Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.

        What? Where have you been that you have this kind of opinion? It’s basically the same as reddit: You do have your bubbles, you do have open minded communities, you also have closed minded communities. Your experience is therefore dependend on where you go.

        For example: Joining a vegan server to say “meat is great” will lead to a shitshow. But that’s not supprising and it’s not because Lemmy per se harbors militant people.

          Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.
