Guessed as much with the wave of censorship many people, including myself, noticed and shared, pretty much exclusively to anti-MAGA opinions, and regardless of them being constructive and objective.
That, and the increase in bot activity in european and canadian subreddits, to the point it felt there were more pro-MAGA’s demotivating and belittling people trying to make a change, than actual europeans or canadians.
It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion, it’s a-ok with me and everyone has a right to it. I even agree with moderating extreme and violent statements when necessary. It’s another thing entirely to censor my opinion because you don’t like it. And on a forum like Reddit that’s inadmissible.
Nuked my account, changed to Lemmy and never looked back. And I’m happy for it. If you can’t take my opinion without trying to take my voice away I’ll just leave you alone in your echo chamber.
Yeah, I ran into the same issues. Don’t try and have any kind of opinion that isn’t the one echoing throughout the comments. The mods can’t even follow their own damned rules.
There are instances of heavy-handed mod and admin actions here, but they are often held to account, generally on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Moderation disputes often end up discussed from a third party perspective on !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.
It is an echo chamber here too, but I have seen more often that opinions against the “narrative” getting -10 or lower but not censored. Some double down, are flamebaiting or downvote farming for unknown reasons, but there are times when you can see a genuine attempt at understanding and discussion from both parties. Over 7 years on Reddit (2016-2023), I can count how many times that happened on one hand, while on Lemmy, it’s infrequent but it happens a lot more than that.

That’s why I came to lemmy, too
Glad you are here!
