Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

I’ve only ever seen this from the kids over at .ml.
Irony is that people in .ml ban you for not agreeing with their hivemind
How is that ironic?
People claim Lemmy is supposed to be “better” than Reddit but so far I’ve encountered more petty barons here than Reddit
Ah OK. To be fair, we can say Luigi Mangione and Free Palestine here.
Outside of the conservative American subreddits that’s standard too though. I rarely see anyone (not downvoted to hell) claim Israel should continue
I’ve heard this a few times, and then I’ve seen the people that got banned…
.ml seems to be a magnet for people who want to scream explicatives at leftists and throw in some transphobia to boot.
Some people likely deserve getting banned but they have a very fragile echo chamber if they need to ban anyone not toeing the party line.
I was in an argument with someone on .ml unironically calling north Korea democratic and then they banned me because apparently I’m a “chauvinistic westerner” when I disagreed. I found that pretty hilarious.
They have an active moderator base.
I’ve been banned from plenty of communities already - particularly meme communities - in the wider Fediverse for rubbing a mod the wrong way. It isn’t particular to .ml and it’s silly to see Lemmyites panic every time they see an .ml instance user or post.
So what? Plenty of people in America call Florida democratic. You’ll be screamed at for suggesting otherwise (Florida voters are just too stupid to vote correctly, you see).
If you get in a pissing contest with a mod or power user, there are plenty of communities that will ban you for being toxic. Either learn to exit the conversation gracefully or stop sticking your dick in the social media blender to begin with. You’re probably better off getting banned than running back in for another screaming match.
I’d argue NK and Florida are on different levels of democratic but I see your point.
You’re probably right with your last paragraph. I do find it amusing to read when they bend backwards trying to defend something that absurd.
