I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.
It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.
Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.
Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.
goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.
i’ve been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i’ve seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre
More welcome to whom? 🔪🦢
Every kind of failed son has their own board
I’m sure as long as you aren’t a Jew or one of those very icky brown people 4chan is very welcoming
Reddit’s whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.
I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I’d have a pretty solid opinion but as is I’d assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn’t be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can’t imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren’t just getting piled on.
I looked it up out of curiosity. The post acknowledges, or at least implies that 4chan users use more slurs, and doesn’t touch on racism otherwise.
For my part, I don’t think there’s a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.Here’s the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210922182734/https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pt2gel/4chan_is_actually_more_welcoming_than_reddit/
Ah, r/unpopularopinion one of the subs I almost never visited cause 90% of the stuff on there was just plain stupid.

Yeah. I’d probably make the argument that 4chan is just open about the racism while other platforms like reddit have at least some enforcement leading to it being less blatant.
After the Charlottesville protests and the guy ran everyone down with his car, I went to /b and it was flooded with messages telling everyone to attack more people with cars
I’m curious how that constituted not just community rules, but sitewide rules
are they banning mentions of any other social media? Since there’s a lot of names lemmy instances can go by.
The screenshot says this violated rule 4 or the sitewide rules:
Rule 4
Do not share or encourage the sharing of sexual, abusive, or suggestive content involving minors. Any predatory or inappropriate behavior involving a minor is also strictly prohibited.
I really don’t think they’re scared of Lemmy.
Any site is more welcoming than R****t dare I say even Twitter is slightly better than it
I advise you to spend 5 minutes on LinkedIn. It is enough to make even Twitter looks like heaven
No, I don’t think I will.
