At least 3/5 times, my post gets removed either because:

  • it violates some subsection of some dot point in those extensive sidebar rules that I didn’t study thoroughly enough, or

  • some mod decides it would be better if I posted as a comment in their dedicated mega thread on the subject, or

  • the Automoderator removed it without explanation, and the mods are all currently on holiday or too busy to GAF.

Anyone else have this problem? And is lemmy any better?

    This has been my experience as well. I am leaving Reddit less because of the corporate ownership and more because I can’t stand the mods. Last September, I posted a question in r/JapanLife about Internet routers, and the mod removed it and banned my account. Last week, I replied to a thread I saw on the Popular feed, and didn’t notice it was in JapanLife, and Reddit suspended my account for it. That was the last straw, so I deleted my accounts on Reddit and came here. I guess there’s nothing to stop the mods from Reddit coming here and bringing their toxicity with them though.
