It's because Lemmy as a whole is a toxic cesspool. Thankfully, it will never gain much traction. The end.

Banned for "Genocide Denial" over at World News (self.modabuse)

submitted 1 month ago by VanillaBean to c/[email protected]

14 comments fedilink

You've got people like this moderator of World News and quite a few other communities issuing bans and removals for things like "Genocide Denial" on any comments that are somewhat moderate or centrist around the longstanding Israel/Palestine conflict. Absolutely sickening to me. There has been NO proven genocide. There are no facts to back that up. This is complete bias and suppression of freedom of speech.

This platform will never succeed if moderators with huge bias are with unchecked power. It's reputation is already in the gutter as an extreme radical leftist platform. And unfortunately, I see that is very true.

Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] VanillaBean 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I was a Reddit veteran for years, I hate Reddit now and don't use it mostly due to getting random permabans. Lemmy functions well - much better than that dog shit site Reddit, but it's not there yet in terms of communities and activity. There is very little local/regional activity that I miss most from Reddit. Overall, it's effective in the technical sense, but content-wise it is still a very small fraction of what Reddit is unfortunately. And I am not confident it ever will be a true replacement. Will also add that Lemmy is EXTREMELY FAR LEFT, to a disturbing point. If you are a centrist, you will be silenced.
