You sub to a subreddit and gen banned on others that had nothing to do with it. Try talking anou how bad the vaccines are… Get banned. It does not matter if you are right or not, cant even have the conversation
Comment on The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

I never cared about the Reddit API war. For me, leaving Reddit was about how moderators have absolute yet arbitrary power to permanently ban users who do not agree with them. And I’m not talking about breaking their rules (racism, misogyny, transphobia) but simply having a disagreement of opinion that provides the mods an opportunity to ban you for life.
For the Reddit API thing, the funny thing was finding out I could have been using a better app the past seven years but didn’t know.

If you’re banned for an opinion, that’s not right. If you’re banned because you’re spreading easily disprovable vaccine misinformation, that’s on you.

“Missinformation” lol everything on the vaccine has been missinformation until is not… “Virus came from a lab in china” “once you are vaccinated you wont get covid (depends on when you say it if its " missinformation” or not)" etc…

Not to mention the extreme attacks on those who refused to get the shot, when they knew all along it did nothing to prevent the spread

Where did he say that? Are you seeing things?

Oh, please don’t worry about that, Lemmy’s API will make it easier than Reddit’s to automatically ban plague rats

So you’re saying that you want censorship based on opinion?

Can’t community moderators ban users too?

I think the idea here is that if mods are bad on, say, memes@lemmy.ml, everyone can just leave and make memes@sh.itjust.works or wherever. There should be more competition here, at least in theory. Time will tell how well it actually works.
