Some of those are understandable to be banned from Unpopular Opinion because they’re actually quite popular opinions. 🤷🏻♂️

“I believe Brian Thompson was actually a pretty cool guy”
DISCLAIMER: I in no way actually think this. This is just an example of one of those banned subjects being used correctly in that sub.
Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Censorship disguised as moderation. This is exactly what killed reddit. You can’t have a discussion over there without getting banned, it’s just individual echo chambers who all censor and ban each other
frazorth@feddit.uk 4 months ago
Or maybe, its not actually an unpopular opinion!
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 months ago
People think they have an unpopular opinion because they do not realize everyone with the same opinion was censored.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 months ago
It’s just a list of nouns and proper nouns. Depending on what your post is, it could be a very unpopular opinion! Censoring words is why I won’t ever go back to Reddit…
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
Or, hear me out, maybe people were tied of way too many posts in the community being about recent politics, so moderators took action on that?
It’s not a good look to be broadly banning those words, but it seems to me like there’s a reasonable and obvious expansion.
Cataphract@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
that’s easily dissuaded by no re-posts or reddits algorithm burying those. The problem was more likely because they were popular and highly engaged so they had to step in. Fucking “spez” is in there and you still feel the need to play devil’s advocate?
Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Usually when I’m tired of reading about a subject I just don’t click on those threads, I don’t censor people
hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Hate to break it to you but reddit isn’t dead.
I still go on reddit. In a lot of ways it’s a lot worse than it used to be. It’s way more corporate. Huge portions of the site seem sanitized, often in obvious and eyeroll inducing ways. There’s also a lot less content in general. The content that does exist is lower effort, and way more repetitive.
However in some ways it’s genuinely better. The discourse is a lot less toxic than it used to be. A lot of genuine cruelty wrapped in virtue signaling that defined the site from 2018 to 2022 is either gone or greatly diminished. It’s also slightly less of an echo chamber.
I think what happened is that after the mobile apocalypse, a lot of the power users left the platform. While these people contributed a lot to the site, they were also extremely toxic people with an even more warped worldview.
The mods are a reflection of this. They are more corporate, which leads to a lot of censorship like this. However it also means that scrolling is quite a bit more pleasant.
Overall I spend more time on Reddit than Lemmy. There’s very little content here once you filter out all the outrage bait.

Then they don’t vote and NEVER figure out that they were manipulated into inaction, they were given that extra nudge to sit and stay home on Election Day.

That part is the exact same and worse here. Lemmy is not really decrentralized, it’s just fractured. Each community still have just one “big one” by design.
Clbull@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can legit say “I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and expect it to make an impact.

Knowing the average redditor, they probably had like 6900 posts about Luigi (or every of those banned words) every hour for weeks.
I don’t blame the mods for dealing that way with karma-addicted redditards.

mean_bean279@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Is this really so bad? I mean… I get it. When you’re trying to moderate something with thousands of posts, and a ton start coming in that are low effort/bot posts saying things like “unpopular opinion: I support Luigi” or “unpopular opinion: I am glad Biden won’t be president” it makes sense. Those are just such constant topics with such a wide range of ideals. Whereas an unpopular opinion they might want to spur conversation would be “unpopular opinion: I don’t mind my socks being damp or wet” otherwise it’s just constant shitposts.
Plus, Reddit isn’t the (US) government. Your expectation of free speech should be null.
DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 4 months ago
It’s part of a larger trend of social media blackouts, this is bad because it lets the wealthy control our discource in the furtherance of their oligarchic aims.
mean_bean279@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Definitely agree with you on that.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Plus, Reddit isn’t the (US) government.
When your policy is so bad your only defense of it is “we didn’t violate your civil rights”, maybe reconsider it.
mean_bean279@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Your rights as a person and citizen don’t magically extend everywhere. Otherwise you turn into a sovereign citizen. This weird obsession on Lemmy with this idea you should be able to say whatever you want online anywhere is fucking stupid and weird. A website is like another business or home (or even a newspaper… which at times has also pulled ideas they don’t agree with). You’re showing up to it. If you don’t like the rules in one place, go to another (or read a different paper). Or make your own.
Also, I love the irony of me making an unpopular opinion comment on a post about unpopular opinion.

Let them come, and also fuck reddit. You’re banned for a comment that was deleted, you can’t see what you said to determine how it violated the rules. You get one message for an appeal. Do you feel lucky? Well do you…punk!
