Well as I mentioned somewhere before, I’m still new here, but it’s seems fairly normal to me so far. On Reddit I’ve been temporarily or permanently banned from Subreddits like for the silliest things, when a mod doesn’t like you, there is no point. They will call you names and whatnot, doesn’t matter, appeal process? Doesn’t seem to exist.

Now how this works on Lemmy is still an unknown to me, though I do think Lemmy is too “complex” for the average internet user and so won’t be able to gain a similar “succes” in terms of userbase and ease of use.

I am an ironic man, so it’s certainly possible.

“Gee, the usual suspects, oh I guess I’m racist now”. That was it, just a snarky cynical comment / “joke” relating to a couple of store robbers/thieves.

“Encouraging hate”, or something like that according to the ban.

Way over the top reaction by a mod or admin, keep in mind I got nothing but upvotes on that comment too… somebody really didn’t like that.

Im too new to tell if Lemmy is more left or right leaning or somewhere in the middle. But Reddit is extreme left wing, you can’t even make a (bad) joke without getting banned.

Considering I just got “permanently suspended” for making a bad joke on WTF, no appeal possible (nobody replies), Lemmy seems more fair. As getting banned for the entire site, so to speak, is really unlikely if not impractical versus Reddit where if one mod doesn’t like you, if left leaning (and they are all left wing fascists basically) you are F’ed.

Reddit is super left wing, Lemmy is too small (now) to compare or make any comparison to which is “worse”, so it can only be better right now.
