Censorship
They censor like crazy here
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.
Whats r/chodi?
‘’‘r/Chodi’‘’ was an ultranationalist Hindu subreddit banned in the year 2022, after the ban, several users migrated to Telegram, r/IndiaSpeaks, r/Indiadiscussion, and r/bakchodi.
r/Chodi promoted Islamophobic and Christophobic speech, in addition to hateful messages against LGBTs (transgenders included), sexist and misogynistic messages and other types of attacks on ethnic and religious minorities, use of misspelled sexual terms to circumvent the Reddit software.
Their religious extremism and reactionaryism made the urban dictionary classify them as close to Islamic extremist groups such as ISIS.

Oh I see. We definitely don’t want anything like that on Lemmy
r/chuddy really existed omg
Fascism
Have you been to feddit lately?
Banning you from communities x and y as soon as you post in community z. Such petty BS
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.
Abuse of power by moderators (which is already sadly happening here)
It’s a flaw built into the system. Don’t give randos dictatorial power. Simple
“why dont you just google it smh”
Overly restricting and subjective deletions and bans for low quality. (Eg: /r/casualuk)
Hear me out - restricting based on low quality sounds great, right? Until it’s your post that’s blocked. And you know it isn’t low quality, is unique and offers a new perspective. Some mods have genuinely forgotten that it’s (mostly) humans at the other end of their actions, or haven’t forgotten and enjoy being dicks.
Subreddits that do not represent the title and instead hate it.
I’m looking at you /r/china.Too late. [email protected]
Some rando, with no special qualifications or knowledge, telling me how to speak, playing dictator, and locking or banning at whim.
Oh wait.
People
Bots
Really? I think there are a lot of bots here, maybe more than Reddit.
You can’t be serious
I can’t? People who are very convinced of their opinions will use the tools developed for use in forums like Reddit to further their agenda. Other platforms will use bots here to marginalise it. On a small platform like Lemmy you don’t need many.
Im already seeing what i don’t want to see from reddit on lemmy, extreme toxicity and hate fueled by politics, but from the reverse side of reddit. I’ve really just given up entirely on the concept of the fediverse, it’s not helping people become kinder either. But at least it’s not designed that way, i think people are used to what social media has been that they bring it over here. I think a lot of the nice people have been overwhelmed on lemmy by a lot of angry people. I don’t know. The fediverse feels like a failed experiment but at the same time. I would think eventually people will stop bringing the mentalities theyve had for a long time on the internet here, but it will take time.
Maybe someday ill have a permanent account on a fediverse platform.
