The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Well yeah. Look at their size. It doesn’t help that alternatives like Lemmy are even worse. At least on Reddit they’d tell you when you were banned and why. Here you just get shadow banned by mods with miniscule power who prove they shouldn’t hold any. And who’s to say Lemmy isn’t also selling my data? Which is why I came here. Why should I trust Lemmy when they allow the shit they do from mods, I’ve had people attempt to doxx me on here and not a single mod or anyone higher up cares or even respond.
Aside from the totalitarian mods, Lemmy has Jack shit in terms of content. There are communities who haven’t had posts in months, and the popular ones are just people yelling at each other.
