It’s my second day on lemmy. I came from Reddit because their moderation is so careless.
I am so tired of moderators using their power to police discussions, rather than keep people safe. Anyone can walk away from an argument at any time; you’re not protecting them from that. In fact, what you’re doing is silencing them at a time when they’re frustrated and have no where else to vent. They come here because they need to get it out.
I’m going to start looking for another platform. People like you are the reason I left Reddit.
Its almost as if the system of unpaid volunteer moderators has its limits.
I’m here on Lemmy because as limited as the system of unpaid volunteer moderators is… its better than the CEO of Reddit who has begun to influence the discussion from the top down. If there is a system of unpaid volunteer moderators, at least they should be supported. And Lemmy seems to be place for that.
My friend, Reddit is still a worse option in my opinion.
I mean, I literally came on this post and started calling out the mod. But you see what they did?
I wasn’t banned. My comments weren’t deleted. Instead they engaged my talking points and tried to offer their opinion instead. I didn’t call them an asshole, they didn’t call me an idiot. We are just talking and disagreeing.
You are never going to find anything like that over Reddit.
Feel free to browse around the different instances though. You might disagree with the mod of this community and/or instance, but you can always find a different one that better fits your views if you think this is a dealbreaker for you.
Finally, Lemmy is very young compared to Reddit. It doesn’t have nearly the same amount of tools available to mods, and yet it’s already more transparent with its mod logs being so open and accessible.
Welcome to Lemmy by the way! We are trying our best lol

Farewell 15 hour old novelty account. We hardly knee ye.

So… if you don’t get to say whatever you want with zero consequences, you threaten to leave?
Enjoy the walk back to Reddit, and tell the bots we said hello!
We’re all very sad about whatever you’re being offended by when adults are in the room.
You left reddit because of mods… not the other million things spez and co has done? Have fun on the next platform, friend.
