So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).

    I hope they don’t end up over here. “Power mods” are just the worst.

      I got banned from a sub for a relatively tame normal opinion about something or other, like a video game or something. Sent a mod mail asking what happened and what could I do to make it right, got muted and then banned from 10 more subs immediately.

      I just nuked my 15 year 750k karma account after giving him a piece of mind to each modmail box. I’ll absolutely burn the earth before letting some internet loser feel like he runs my life lol.

        I got banned from r/entertainment for criticizing Lizzo’s outfit when the whole crystal flute nontroversy happened, nothing racial, nothing about her weight or about the flute-playing itself, just that I thought her outfit she was wearing looked trashy. BANNED. Reddit has been on the decline for awhile now. I just wish I could filter out ANY news of Reddit on other sites, it’s kind of annoying how much sites like Lemmy.world still lean on Reddit for content instead of trying to do their own thing.

          Oh yeah I hate how many posts are just Reddit links.

          Do people not know you still help by visiting?

          (they don’t, people are dumb 😂)

            Yea, I’ve been going cold turkey since 6/11. I thought the whole point was to NOT GO so that Reddit could see how unpopular its decision was. It kind of feels like people are just not bothering with even trying to protest. I’m sure those that stick around will have a series of annual “that’s it, I’m done” moments coming in the future as Reddit makes more and more unpopular decisions and people just put up with it because they couldn’t even go a few weeks without visiting the site. I’ve already made my peace with the fact that Reddit is gone and I’m ready to move on. At this point I’d be more conflicted if they actually backed down on their stupid API policy and let 3rd party apps back on.

              I nuked my 15 year 750k karma main for less just to spite some butthurt super mod 😂

              I keep my account for local use but I wiped out my post and comment history (and got banned from half my subs for using a script to do so which just makes it easier to not use 😂)

      Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.

        How does that solve the issue? If you are banned from a community you won’t be able to post or comment to it

          You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.

            You could create your own community on reddit as well

              Reddit will issue sitewide bans for posting about certain topics. The mods of lemmy.world seem to be going down that same path, unfortunately.

      Tbh considering you kinda have to be in the know to be here id imagine turtle would be baned by most communitys here but at the same time you’d think someone who is trying run a good subreddit would also know that turtle is a jack ass

      I haven’t looked at the names of who have re-started up all the most popular communities from reddit, but I would expect to see some familiar usernames…
