        In fairness, that one does get a giggle from me. Every time. Even this one. Especially this one.

        Giggity. (Please forgive me.)

    Censorship and manipulation

    Reddit is basically an American psyop machine. The censorship is alarmingly heavy. It bizarre and I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it because it’s seems so extreme. It’s like a government tool now.

        Censorship is always going to exist to some extent, but Lemmy has the potential to balance it out because there is no central authority. So you could have censorship of different stuff on different servers, but if you take the network as a whole you would still get a diversity of information.

        I remember everybody celebrating Luigi the whole time, I guess some mods and admins were wary of threats of violence being hosted on their servers but overall it’s impossible to criticize Luigi on this platform without getting heavily downvoted, and celebrating him is free upvotes.

        So I feel like you’re being pretty overdramatic and also not really accurate with this comment.

    Unsolicited bot comments.

    One to correct a minor grammar mistake, a second to call the first pedantic, and a bunch of good bot/bad bot replies to both, and now half the comment section is noise.

    They’re rarely funny or interesting past the first time you encounter them, and their creators never willing to acknowledge that they’ve unleashed a pest.

    Bans and heavy moderation of content.

    I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

    So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

    I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

    So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

    Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

        ‘’‘r/Chodi’‘’ was an ultranationalist Hindu subreddit banned in the year 2022, after the ban, several users migrated to Telegram, r/IndiaSpeaks, r/Indiadiscussion, and r/bakchodi.

        r/Chodi promoted Islamophobic and Christophobic speech, in addition to hateful messages against LGBTs (transgenders included), sexist and misogynistic messages and other types of attacks on ethnic and religious minorities, use of misspelled sexual terms to circumvent the Reddit software.

        Their religious extremism and reactionaryism made the urban dictionary classify them as close to Islamic extremist groups such as ISIS.
