I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.

Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers

    one of the reasons i dont use lemmy all the time tbh. i changed instances like 3 times cause of random disappearances and defederation. the mod situation is far worse here than on reddit because you have like 3 different groups of people who can remove your post.

        • mods of community
        • admins of community instance
        • admins of your instance
