I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their "job" and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.

Sorry for any disturb, bye :3

P.S.

Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.

I'm not banned, but I'm here because Reddit essentially in active decay. It's old. All the community names are taken. Some taken years ago. The site is too big to be effectively maintained by admins, leaving many communities badly-run, half-abandoned and being swamped by bots, trolls and whatever else. You can't grow anything there.

You can on the Fediverse. Community discoverability is by far much better on here, and the federated structure of it means that no-one can camp on communities to stop others from making it. You can just be replaced by someone else if you run it poorly.

There are many other problems too such as the site using AI to ban people, buggy notification system etc.

most of its bots anyways, outside of niche communties, most of the post are more less talking about trump, or trump adjacent in some form another, the only problem with that you are more likely to get astroturfed there.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
