Reddit sucks? Gosh, next you’re going to tell me Twitter and Facebook are bad, too!
Lmao reddit mods love sucking nazi cock
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?
Fuck reddit, and fuck censorship.
Lets be clear though, reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags.
Lemmy has plenty of shitty moderation too, and arguably is worse at dealing with it within any given instance due to the lack of proper mod tools, the way posts that are deleted remove entire comment sections from being accessible, the lack of any appeals system and I’m sure a few other things I don’t remember off the top of my head.
Its a people problem, and its a style of organization problem with this style of forum.
I agree. Lemmy has a ton of awful moderators that abuse their power just to support “their” viewpoint.
Lemmy is better though because it at least has the potential for people to have better moderation, as well as a modlog that keeps mods somewhat accountable and let’s people see what is being censored.

I’m not sure if this is still true, but you can get around that though if you ban the person before removing the comment. Also, some communities have a delay on showing what’s been removed.

Indeed. Famously the elephant in the room of the ml instance where they’re gone so far off the deep end on a lot of topics that they end up in essence supporting extremist conservative views/human rights abuses and worse. This is either with direct support with the weird straight up dictatorship praises many sing, being so toxic and hard to talk to that they push people away (who I hope know they certainly aren’t the average left leaning person) or the awful thing many do where they feel any incremental positive change is bad, and the only good change is a magic overnight revolution and shift to 100% exactly their view of how society should work, that they’ll also never spell out.

In some ways yes, in some ways the opposite (as mentioned with the lack of tools).
Regarding the modlog, maybe I am missing something, but when things are deleted here, its actually a little bit worse than reddit sometimes in that you won’t be able to immediately see the content that was deleted of yours, and then for mod logs, I believe (As I am not 100% sure) that comment removals disappear when the user who made the comment is banned as well, so its kinda false transparency.
From
The start page of the internet
To:
this tiny little corner on the internet
Reddit sure has come far
At one point it was a glorious place. Then 5 people became admins and mods of the most popular 100 sub reddits and began controlling the narrative to fit their beliefs. In my opinion reddit has been dead for at least 5 years now
Front page, I believe was what they called themselves. But yeah, it’s been a glorious fall.
Basically all the local subreddits have right-wing mods and a cadre of incels that try to drive the conversation constantly towards minorities who commit crimes
The mod of a fascist sub about a fascist state of a fascist country on a fascist website is behaving like fascist? I’m shocked.
So what you’re saying is that it’s a small corner of the Internet problem eh? ;)
I dunno why, can’t really put my finger on it, but I have this slight hunch that it might be related to fascism in some way.
Same thing happens on democrat subs…
Hell even more.
Who mentioned democrat subs? This is a state subreddit lmao
r/pics is a picture subreddit, yet you say one thing conservative and you get banned.
Fucking wow man. Fuck reddit. I got perma banned for arguing with a FAR left mod 3ish years ago. Im liberal as fuck. Believe in rights for everyone, hate ice, despise Trump, believe in welfare, hate racist cunts etc, etc, etc. Politicians arent celebrities to be pit on a pedestal. They are public servants elected to serve… the effing public. What i don’t believe in is BLINDLY supporting someone just because they are affiliated with my party. And thats ultimately why I was banned, I argued with a mod that blindly supported democrats no matter what they did. In the end I took it on the chin and never looked back because fuck that
I think we live in unprecedented times and we need to correct a clear abuse of power before we have the luxury to return to how we would want to do things.
Yea but how the heck do we accomplish that? Im not disagreeing with you. It just seems like an impossible task…
Abandon Reddit and leave it as a Government of Putin cesspool filled with Russian shills. If the Volunteer Oblast votes for Van Epstein, fuck them too for protecting pedophiles, rapists and felons.
Id rather read about inappropriate butt stuff over election propaganda this early in the hollidays.
Related user name. 👍
Reddit has really gone down the hole and sucks Republican cock hard.
Yeah but greedy little pig boy Spez just became a billionaire, so it was worth sacrificing your speech for his wealth.
So stay the fuck off Reddit?
Typical reddit situation. When someone does something the GOP doesn’t like, it’s spam or fake news.
Of all people to claim is spam, Steve fucking Hoftstetter‽
