  • This. Lemmy is even more left-wing than reddit, and reddit is crazy left wing. I watched multiple conservative subs get purged over at reddit over the years. Conservatives were basically hiding and under constant fear of being banned, but at least there were a few subs there for them to post in.

    On Lemmy? There’s no place for them here. At least I haven’t found one. I dared to post something conservative in a politics thread and now I think my lemmy account has more downvotes than upvotes. Thank god there aren’t any karma requirements here.




  • My main was vtuber-love. I also posted under isekai-hero and DemonLordDoom.

    I have filed multiple appeals and contacted the mods using several alts. The last message I got suggested I’ve been banned for “multiple repeated content violation under my alternate accounts” or something like that, which I think means they’re keeping my ban in place because I posted under alts while my main was banned.

    But the ban on my main account was bogus. Which puts them in a catch-22. If my main account didn’t deserved to be banned, then I wasn’t breaking any rules by posting on alts.

    It seems like they just have a stick up their butt. I have apologized multiple times. I’ve informed them I never plan to post on that subreddit ever again. I’ve suggested a temporary ban instead, like 1 week would be fine. But nothing seems to get through to them. How can they be so completely inflexible?


  • I have to completely disagree. I spent a long time building up karma on my account, thousands of posts, contributing to my favorite communities, and one snarky comment on a ragebait post got my account banned by a reddit admin on a power trip. Multiple appeals later, it’s still banned. There’s no sensible reason to justify a site-wide permaban on an account with such a long history of constructive posts for one snarky post that caused someone to be insulted.

    Their admins are absolutely deranged and yes it completely ruins the entire website. It’s basically insufferable to continue using reddit. The power-tripping admins have flushed the entire site down the toilet. Lemmy is the best alternative at the moment, and supposedly it should be basically impossible to get banned from all of lemmy. I think the worst you can get here is an instance ban? 513 instances so far. You would have your work cut out for you.
