This is a big one for me.

Thanks for calling this out. I will stop posting content to lemmy.ml. What is the next best alternative to lemmy.world? I have nothing against lemmy.world, but would like to spread out content to different sites.

I’ve been banned for being pro-Israel by several such petty tyrants.

Can you give an example?

Unless it is outright hate speech comments should never be banned. Call out mods when they do this. Maybe we need a group specifically about this.

I too have recently been perma-banned from reddit for nonsense.

I call then rando-bans. e.g. You were banned for violating unwritten rules, poorly interpreted rules, rules made up on the spot, or because the mod is having a bad day. Basically stuff where a warning would have easily sufficed.

And Squabbler.co

because dissenting opinions get straight up deleted.

You should call mods out when that happens as a public service. If I learn this happens a lot on certain subs I will stop using them even if it didn’t happen to me.

/r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers.

The real number of active users on average reddit subs is probably far less than 50% of reported numbers. I can imagine that every year the percentage of real vs reported subscriptions falls another 10% or so, as accounts are abandoned and rando-banned etc.

What sort of “controversial” comment?

Looks like it was really just another rando-ban. A mod having a bad day.

Usenet

so there’s no simple way to block huge swaths of content you’re not interested in — like sports, or politics.

The simple way is to show only the groups you have subscribed to.

But yes I do like Usenet’s organizational hierarchy.

Or we just ignore Threads until they fix this fatal flaw.

There are 2 kinds of people who get banned. People who actually deserve it and people who get rando-bans. A rando-ban is something you have no control over. It is caused by things like unwritten rules, nonsensical rules, or the unpaid intern mods having a bad day. Things that a warning could have easily taken care of. Lemmy cannot give you a rando-ban, but if you actually deserve a ban than multiple people can come together and do it.

My first rando-ban on reddit was posting too much content from the Washington Post. Even though I was only posting about 1 article per month I was “spamming”. It is wonderful knowing that on lemmy/kbin I can finally start submitting content again without risking a rando-ban.

I don’t give a crap about the API. Reddit’s system of rando-bans are a fatal flaw to its usefullness.

I got mine today. Email and a reddit message. 9k post 21k comment. I stopped posting anything around 2012 when I found that posting is a great way to get yourself banned. I love that with lemmy/kbin I can finally post things again.

No way would I sink money into a badly mismanaged company that isn’t even profitable, but could have been with better management.

. Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover.

This was one of reddit mod’s famous rando-bans. Something you could have never foreseen and a warning would have solved.

3rd time will be an admin permaban. This is part of the enshitification that mismanagement paid for.

When you click on “list of communites”. An option to default to “subscribed”. I never just want to see “local”.

In the non-canon book Psychohistorical Crisis, the Dune universe is part of the past of the Foundation universe. The Fremon are known as the “Frightful People” to historians.
