MODERATORS
 

Pure curiosity:

If you left reddit or another corporate platform under the banner of not being censored by their views or beliefs, what was that?

Wait. Before we open this can of worms, I'm not at all curious about an in-depth explanation of unpopular views or opinions that are generally extremist or that most reasonable people consider extreme. More of:

  • I left reddit or some other because they censor...?
  • The lemmy community is more for me because?
  • I reasons my instance policies or moderators are better than the other platform is?
  • The other platform restricted opinions or views regarding...?

If you feel like sharing, just summarize the general idea, please no indoctrination speeches.

Oh boy...

reddit permabanned me for mass reporting very obvious spam bots, as i was "abusing the report feature", then ignored the appeal (which i'm sure went straight in the trash anyway). 9 year old 500k karma account, and a huge content generator for their money farm, down the drain.

i was already done with the site but mostly stuck around for some of the community content I still cared about. it was obvious they PREFER spam bots over real users, as long as they generate traffic and ad revenue. money over all, they've always transparently been that way. and the third party app ban was just the icing on the cake. They give no craps about any kind of censorship unless it censors the voices that might get between them and IPO money.

fuck 'em, fuck spez and his blue-eyed golden boy affluenza-afflicted pedo ass. they can have their spambots in their nice little walled garden. i'm having a lot more fun over here anyway.

edit: and in case a LW mod considers this "uncivil", my last statement is factual, not an attack. it is an open secret that spez first modded, and then explicitly allowed the continued existence of /r/jailbait for many years (quick google); he is also so self-centered via his golden-boy affluenza complex that he thinks he will be a slave owner in the coming apocalypse.
