Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    Honestly I moved over here a couple months ago and haven’t had the urge to look back. I love this place.

    Out of curiosity I read that post and top comments. That place just smells tainted now. If that post is on tenth accurate I feel bad for anyone that feels the need to stay and be part of that drama.

    The fediverse has felt just so much more comfortable and safe. I hope it stays this way.

        Exactly! I remember the excitement back in 2006/2007 when I first tried it. Not much content back then, but it felt like freedom.

        It’s far better than reddit is but real discussions still aren’t allowed to happen. Before 2016 or so I was still subscribed to /politics because while we didn’t always agree, we could at least discuss. Then in 2016 everyone got TDS and became a fragile child, unable to handle adult topics without banning or reporting. Wrongthink became a reality. And it’s very much a reality here at lemmy.world and other large fediverse instances.

          Before 2016 you didn’t have right wing bots convincing all the fringe morons to band together for fascism. I was on Reddit before, discourse was civil until the right went crazy and started believing anything that aligned even slightly with their views. Then anyone who disagreed was a “fragile child” or criticizing their leaders was met with the likes of “TDS”. All they do is parrot buzzwords.

            I don’t mind downvotes. But I cannot debate when banned.

            And there is no subtlety in the mods behaviour. They ban based on dog whistles that only they can hear.

      I only go back for the 2 or 3 very niche communities there, although honestly if feels like even those have dropped in content. I haven’t even logged in, just browse once a week or so. Lemmy is 100% of my toilet time now.
