I moved on reddit back in Digg exodus days. Been there more than 15 years. Got banned recently mentioning that some Palestinians are terrorists. Mods cursed at me in the PM when I reported them to admins, Admin permanently banned my account. It's just a radical left echo-chamber now, which sucks because there are lot's of interesting niche sub forums.

I wish someone would actually invest in competing product, with less censorship and no braindead mods.

Check out lemmy. Pick an instance: can start with https://lemmy.world or host your own. It's where everybody flocked to. It's decent, has decent content, decent users.

If you don't like the mods/censorship you can host your own or go choose a new instance. content will be the same, mods will be different and what they mod will be different

"Pick an instance" is where you lose me already. Same for Mastodon and similar services. "Mods will be different and what they mod will be different" sounds like hell to me.

Not saying it's bad for everyone, just my personal experience. It chases me away.

Does this help?

"Check out Reddit. Pick a subreddit: can start with https://reddit.com/r/popular or start your own. It's where everybody flocked to. It's decent, has decent content, decent users.

If you don't like the mods/censorship you can start your own or go choose a new subreddit. content will be the same, mods will be different and what they mod will be different."

Not sure if we're using the same Reddit but I'm sure as hell some subs would benefit from purging the mod team.

[mrinfinitiesx]

Just choose https://lemmy.world and not care then. There's other instances https://join-lemmy.org/instances

So if one community like say, https://lemmy.world/c/linux So .. /c/linux has mods and they're questionable you can go find a server/setup that you might think has better mods or a better mission behind them and their /c/linux will be moderated different from lemmy.world's /c/linux but they will all still have the same posts/comments, upvotes downvotes etc. Lemmy.world's deleted posts wont be the new one's deleted posts.

It's a federated Reddit (decentralized) - It gained millions of users when Reddit users jumped ship. It gains more every day because they're getting sick of the astroturfing, left swinging bias, bot bloat, and terrible mods/reddit policies.

So while you can't oust the mods per se you can just go find a different webserver that hosts a lemmy and it'll have different mods, admins etc

lol

Most people on Lemmy are leftist and left-biased, in fact there're some pretty big and problematic tankie instances, right-wingers are a rarity and they're ostracized. If anything, people moving to Lemmy are sick of all the neoliberal/right-wing bullshit.

[mrinfinitiesx]

Ah, I've been using it for the tech stuff. My mind kind of just blocks that stuff naturally now or tries to. I use it for the technology aspect.

Well, if it's like that, where's the _decent_ websites? I don't use reddit. I block X, Facebook, everything. All that's left is HackerNews. I just want to enjoy higher level discussions.

I'm not down with neo-nazis though.

There are instances on the Fediverse ranging from actual far-left tankies to actual far-right Nazis. Many of them are banned from interacting with the really big general-purpose instances, but they still exist. If you insist on only touching instances that aren't banned from general-purpose instances, that's on you, and that's not demanding the right to speak, that's demanding the right for others to listen to you.

Lemmy is another propaganda machine, but instead of corporations it's in the hand of some randomers pushing their agenda, I went to say that if you are trans you can feel whatever you want, but still shouldn't compete in other genders categories if you have a leg muscle that is 3 times the one of your opponent, in football, was banned in 2 minutes, it's infested by the lgbt gang

[anonfordays]

Lemmy is an even worse leftist echo chamber that suffers from the same problems as reddit.

[immibis]

Then why are you looking at "leftist echo chamber" Lemmies? Go and find a rightist echo chamber Lemmy if that's what you're looking for. This is like going to /r/socialism and complaining Reddit is leftist.

There's also Kbin, which for all practical purposes is Lemmy, and interoperates with Lemmy, but is developed by different people.

>Then why are you looking at "leftist echo chamber" Lemmies?

I'm not? Are you replying to the wrong comment?

>Go and find a rightist echo chamber Lemmy if that's what you're looking for.

I don't want that, nor am I looking for one.

>This is like going to /r/socialism and complaining Reddit is leftist.

This doesn't make any sense. Again, are you replying to the wrong person?

>There's also Kbin, which for all practical purposes is Lemmy, and interoperates with Lemmy, but is developed by different people.

Never heard of it.

You definitely misunderstood everything in the parent comment on purpose. Don't be obtuse. It's against the guidelines.

"Don't be obtuse" is nowhere to be found in the guidelines, where as your shallow dismissal is. Please don't post shallow dismissals. It's against the guidelines.
