I think we'd all be better served by pretending reddit doesn't exist, rather than trying to bring reddit drama over here.

Is it different mods? Yes.

Well, that obviously depends what you were being banned or censored for, I don't know what your situation was. This Lemmy instance has global rules too on the front page, they're just less pro-corporate and neoliberal because we're not trying to make profit like reddit does, and we have more capacity for individual attention. So if, for example, you're intentionally trolling or posting pro-nazi garbage you'll still get a banhammer. But I really doubt anyone has been banned or censored just for asking why they were banned.

I've been in this instance for a year and never been banned.

P. sure dredd isn't in charge here

Well I can see your post, so you seem all good.

Note to self: I'll ban anyone from my communities that dares to lie that we're in Spring instead of Autumn. OP wouldn't be banned!

Jokes aside: mods in Lemmy look considerably more chill than in Reddit, as long as you aren't disingenuous. That's just my impression though so YMMV.

That thread was run by inner melbourne greens voters. what do you expect ....
