I CAN ACTUALLY POST ON c/asklemmy NOW!!
Back when I was like 13 and on reddit, I posted what I thought was a good open question to askreddit, and it immediately got deleted with no stated reason. Now, I can ask any interesting question I have, and receive tons of interesting responses from people!
A lot of the same Reddit mods have transferred to other major communities. Unfortunately you'll likely still hit the same issue over here, I've already been banned by one outrageous mod for disagreeing with him.
Best part about lemmy, ban that user/community/instance and move on.
I rarely find it is as simple as this. There’s a remarkable number who had their post removed or that been banned from communities that “literally did nothing wrong.”
I’d be very curious to see what exactly led your being banned.
Edit: Comments like this signal you’re a pot stirrer and I’m afraid to ask you to expand this comment further.
I have a new fan, which is nice I guess. Welcome
I ~~banned~~ blocked the community and admin which abused their powers, whether you believe me or not it makes no difference to what happened.
No rules were broken, and I am happy I am not part of that community
I’m confused. Who banned who lol
I meant blocked, I'm dumb
I've been posting regularily on asklemmy@lemmy.world for the past eight months, so I see no malicious intent in whoever is a mod.
Yeah I'm not specifically talking about asklemmy. It's probably one of the good ones
i am curious as to your experience.
not too long ago i am having exchanges with people who wouldn't hesitate to use derogatory term to label me because i held a differing view on certain issues.
i thought it was reminiscent of earlier reddit days where overly woke individuals would abuse you on reddit and then abuse the report system to perma ban your account.
don't get me started on the mods who were power tripping and dishing out bans because they got offended over simple facts.
Ah yes the classic online insult to someone who has a slight difference of opinion from you.
A hefty amount of people don't understand that it's ok to not all agree, unfortunately those people are also mods.
Man that is quite the series of dog whistles/red flags.
Edit: scanned your comments. Yikes. A lot of things make sense now.
