Try Snyk 💻: http://snyk.co/lewisThe Reddit Blackout of 2023 will go down in internet history as one of the largest online protests ever. Outraged redditors ...
Even with a modlog, the mods are clearly removing comments. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll click on a link that reads anywhere from 10-25 “more comments in this thread,” only for it to tell me there are no more comments when I click to load them.
I don’t know how bans work over here, but I have seen lemmings complain that they got banned temporarily, but never got any notifications of the ban.
It’s clearly better than what happened to Reddit, but there still seem to be some bad faith actors about.
I used to go to the The Last of Us subreddit to just vent about the horrible writing in the second part of the game. Jesus, that was s cult. People had to create s second subreddit just to criticize the game. Now, the original subreddit calls names and bans anyone mentioning “the other” subreddit.
Now, I’m from Mexico. The subreddit /r/Mexico is the equivalent to /r/Conservative to the USA. But named after my country, people goes there without knowing this, it’s so damn alienating.
I’m one of the mods of a few subs even though I’m no longer active. I hopped on yesterday and had a chat with the remaining mods of a couple of subs. They’ve been SO busy moderating assholes, propagandists, aggressive conspiracy theorists, and spam bots. They’re suspending and banning accounts every day or two when it used to be an account or two every month. These are all small to medium sized, niche subs dedicated to helping people and sharing various ideas and people are trolling and harassing users like they’ve never seen before.
I checked out some of the subs’s contents and in short order found I let myself get sucked into trying to educate an anti-masker in a sub that really shouldn’t attract that type. It went how you’d expect, and it made me realize I haven’t had a single interaction like that on Lemmy. It’s nicer here.

I’d you disagree with the wrong mod or say something “offensive” banned. They look at your appeal and nothing changes.
At this point it’s just adult children “working” in their parents basement not making any money.

it’s full of bots who uses AI to spread toxicity. And if you are genuine and report that, you’re going to be permabanned. The site is going down, fast
same. reddit is populated with users who’s comments are generally indistinguishable from those of a 12-15 year old.
