    Bans and heavy moderation of content.

    I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

    So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

    I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

    So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

    Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

    Perhaps its too late for the largest instances, but the idea of a site like this being a spectator activity, about consumption, rather than creating communities. Some smaller instances, and even some larger ones, have an actual unique atmosphere and have larger projects across the instance. When we suddenly got a flood of reddit users escaping from the third-party API fiasco and the Luigi bans, that was huge enough to dilute some of the communities with large amounts of people used to simply voting and commenting, or having a website premade for them.

    Banning you from communities x and y as soon as you post in community z. Such petty BS

    Remembering reddit exists at all. Why can’t people stop obsessing over reddit and just enjoy the fediverse?

    The Reddit culture of just hating on random people’s objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think “snark” subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you’re the problem.

    Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.
