Is lemmy the new reddit?
No, because you can keep using it if you disagree with its creators by simply using a different instance, unlike if you disagree with Spez on Reddit.
You mean Spez, the former mod of r/jailbait/, right?
The very same
He was added as a mod as a joke (mods can mod anyone without their having a say in it). The guy is cunt enough without misinformation though this one’s been doing the rounds a long time.
I helped moderate a couple of mid-sized communities and users had to actively accept moderation appointment, but maybe that was only true after a certain date?
Yeah I’d guess that was probably after this incident haha. Definitely was early enough days in Reddit when this happened. I opened my account on there a long time ago (13 years maybe?) and thankfully the only thing I really remember about the jailbait sub is it getting banned.
Ewwww
Wait what? Is that for real?
Not truly - see other comment in this thread (he likely was not aware that someone had added him, as iirc he had made zero moderation activities, and early on in Reddit anyone could add anyone else as a moderator without their permission or even knowledge).
It’s disinformation that people continue to spread bc it makes spez look bad, although it’s not like there are not many more VALID reasons that spez sucks.
You can’t keep using your account on lemmy.ml if you disagree with their policies.
Lemmy the software is different from lemmy.ml the instance. They are both authoritarian in nature but the latter to a far higher degree than the former.
Pretty much. The Ye Power Tripping Bastards community never lacks for content.
I suppose that some toxic mods from Reddit also infiltrated Lemmy.
The tankies were some of the first to be purged from Reddit so they were on the ground floor of Lemmy. They are baked in.
im not surprised, conservatives are too pervasive to banned everywhere, especially with the help of bots.
Leftists are just as pervasive as conservatives, leftists have no backup, conservatives do. They have politicians, they have all sorts of institutes, they have media organizations, and they have astroturfs bullshit. Ask your Turf by people that want to use them to overthrow the Republic but that’s another story. We don’t have any of that. We’re totally desperate and they make sure to set us against each other and it sure fucking works with you dumb motherfuckers no offense.
that is true, they have propaganda apparatus afforded by FOX via murdoch and PUTINS TROLL farms. plus funding all these right wing governments by putin, of which billionaires benefit from his trolls.
Nah. Lemmy doesn’t bot ban me for discussing my Constitutional rights and speaking ill of fascists.
I mean… look up santabot, we literally do have such bots here (although Lemmy does not notify you when you get banned from somewhere, so it’s entirely possible that maybe you’ve been banned numerous times but simply don’t know it? :-P), plus Lemmy.ml is extremely well-known for doing exactly this though?
It is far less common here though, yes. Probably bc we are smaller.
Thankfully that bot and the user who created the bot are no longer on Lemmy. That thing sucked ass, and the user who created it was a jerk too.
Says the .world user. Lol.
