I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?
“Authoritarian mod craziness”? What communities were you hanging in where this was such a widespread problem?
Also .world is definitely not overwhelmingly communist. You need to start subscribing/blocking just like you probably did on Reddit. There’s no underlying algorithm making decisions for you here. You have full control of what you see. If you don’t like what you see, you can fix it!
I mean let’s not pretend that there aren’t a lot of psychotic mods on world. It’s gets pretty bad. Hell I got banned from a community for criticizing a New York Post article once. Which I mean shit, how do you not?
I never pretended otherwise. But I gotta tell you the same thing I said in another comment where someone was allegedly banned for basically nothing: I highly doubt that’s the entire story
You can go look it up if you want it was like I don’t know 8 months ago. Literally all it was. That’s why it’s stuck in my craw. Didn’t give two shits about the community, I wasn’t a member of it. Just so weird that that Jeff guy banned me for criticizing the New York Post.
That’s another red flag right there 🤷♂️
TBF, I got banned from Reddit after RvW for saying riot police should quit their jobs en masse. Reddit likes to quench any kind of dissent
I hate the shithole site and Spez but I’m struggling to believe that’s all there is to the story
The thread it was on was an absolute shit show. Right wingers were out en masse reporting every left leaning comment. Eventually the mods and admins showed up and began deleting or banning every left leaning comment, even relatively mundane ones.
