      This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.

        I only heard about lemmy a few weeks ago I bet there’s more like me. I think it’s just a question of promoting it

          Cool how was the switch for you? Do you like or miss something in particular?

            I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there’s so much hysteria. There’s ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I’m really really happy and it’s been smooth and welcoming

        Lemmy is not a forum.

        Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.

        And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.

            Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.

              There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

                    I mean sure, do not use the two eyes you have and take a look at lemmy ux vs reddit and vs a forum. lemmy is literally the reddit we have at home. The fact its tons of different reddits we have at home connected is the only difference. Not even bait, this is what everyone normal sees.

          In some ways yes in other ways no. The urge to hivemind and purity test everything is definitely the same however the ability to move to another instance and get away from a group of power tripping mods is different.

          Lemmy is essentially a collection of 2000s era forums that have agreed to share user accounts.

      I am one of those people and I wonder. Is it because I upvoted a news article about war or a nazi getting punched?
