    Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.

        I got permabanned from commenting on r/insaneparents for “giving medical advice” when I was just sharing my own similar experience and saying that a good psychologist helped me put things in perspective. It was my only rule break and they didn’t respond to my messages asking for forgiveness and to be reinstated other than a threat to fully ban me if I kept contacting them… Some mods are shit.

    Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.

    It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.

      This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.

        I guess the difference here is that there isn’t a defined group of people running the side

        • admins have some power, but users can switch instances in 2 clicks
        • devs have some power, but other compatible platforms exist (https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ for people reading this)
        • mods have some power, but modlogs are public, and people will create other communities after powertrips

    The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.

      We had comments there too, maybe try an interpretive dance to spice things up?

      Yeah, also Reddit used to be good. So why not make it “like there”, but just 7-10 years ago

    I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy

    Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!

    Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.

    Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      Ok, but “there, like it used to be” was better than “there” is now, and if “here” could be like “there” used to be, now, it would be better than “there” is now, and its my opinion that if “here, now” was like “there, then” it would be slightly better than “here” is now, and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      FTFY. Devoid of punctuation, this reads like [email protected]

    Too late… People are reporting posts for literally using the “wrong” words or for someone expressing anger over something. It’s like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

    We all left reddit for one or two reasons. But reddit has a lot of issues, one or two of which would bug each of us.

    If you want us to be sure we don’t accidentally make Lemmy into reddit2, you need to itemize the borderline stuff so we don’t accidentally be dicks due to something you think is obvious and we think is arbitrary.

    I don’t wanna be a dick. I’m a blunt asshole but I don’t wanna be a dick. Help me out. Help others out.
