It did. The moderation filters that are supposed to ban people for rule breaking are automated by bots and the appeals are also ran by bots. They made it so all accounts are tied to a single, making it so if you had alts to bypass the ban, they banned those too and don't give you any time to appeal again.
There's also too many things you can get banned for now and because it's all automated now, Lemmy, is the last vestige of being able to speak your mind and there's no hive mind here.
well not as ready to use their stingers here and down votes don't mean shit here like at least if you're down voted here, you're not hidden into an oblivion and your comment shadow banned.
Reddit is a hive-mind bullshit area where if you don't agree on everything you're attacked in a way where if you retort to what could very well be be perceived as cyber bullying, you're banned. If you retort to anything by speaking your mind, you're banned or blocked from the community.
It's full of pieces of shit, even the bass guitar community, it's all people telling other people who go there for advice to go to another forum or identifying bass guitars that google lens can figure out by model number.
lolwut.
I guess you say there isn't a single hivemind, it's hiveminds divided by instance.
which decentralize them to their own communities but again you can at least disagree here and it will start a meaningful conversation or something that will make you think further, (I've had better comments that turned into conversations here than reddit), not down voted 20 times, your comment shadow banned and your opinion never seen.
is not a community it's a hivemind. here, there's communities and some have hiveminds but not all of them and most of them don't. Like you can say your new here and be welcomed and not just like be shut up. I could get down voted 50 times here and someone will still see what I said and that's what matters.
It's relaxing here and it feels like I could ask something and get real responses or when I get called out for not knowing something here I go and look it up. I just think this place has that feeling of I can just chill and it's nice.
not as much as reddit.
