I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.
I got a warning for making a report on an automod comment and basically said the moderators are being oppressive and unjustly closing down comments. Five days later, I haven’t touched reddit at all because I switched to lemmy and got a notification that I was banned from reddit because of the same report that I had received a warning on. I guess warnings on reddit are meaningless because you will still get banned or suspended even though it is the first “offense,” which isn’t hard to do when you tell mods they are jerks. I immediately used shreddit on my account and promptly deleted it with feedback that reddit banned me for a first offense that was a warning at first. Literal cancer of a site and glad to be rid of it. My life is better, and lemmy helps with communicating with the small communities I like.
Dude screw reddit… I should have quit July 1st when they took away my boost for reddit 3party app… but I couldn’t stand FB discussion which is deluded with terrorist claiming to be Christians and Republicans… I can’t stand the boners they get for any cop video… So I tried going back to reddit… then the ban came… I searched around and some how found lemmy… and I am glad I did. I like it here better. I like that it’s new too
