Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content

This is actually what got me to swap as it reminded me some content will be banned, and so the social media I’ve had for over a decade and thought was going to be the only classic site to retain freedom of speech and expression had proven itself that they will not be afraid to start taking baby steps towards controlling and censoring media. And in the contents section of this post was a person spreading the news of this alternative. So here I am.

Another comment in this thread you might already have seen by now:
lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/17100252
And there were other instances mentioned in other threads as well.
Some problems are not tied to a platform, but to their users. Power hungry people try to grab power where they can. If they can’t be mod on reddit, they move to Lemmy. Here they can try to grow “their” space. If a topic already exists on one instance, they can move to another and shape the narrative and enforce rules how they like.
