I’ve been wanting Reddit alternatives for a long time, I’m not throwing away this opportunity. If that also means I sift through fewer pre-packaged posts/over-moderated comment sections, I have nothing to complain about.
where did you find over moderation? I have been over here for a while now and never found over moderation. Admittedly I am not active in any communities other than asklemmy and linux.
I might have phrased that ambiguously, I meant to say there’s less over-moderation here. Reddit got to a point where the mods were almost subtractively sculpting the comment section to echo their own thoughts.
well, this I can agree with. I asked that question because I had heard that lemmy was like a leftist dictatorship and anything that didn’t agree with lemmy mods was removed but that wasn’t my experience
It did kind of suck before the Reddit migration. The largest instances were primarily filled with tankies when I initially joined, so I left but I gave it another chance during the migration because I figured we’d be able to drown them out. Luckily it appears we mostly have.

Yeah it’s hard to replace reddit and lemmy is by far the best. Just needs time to mature.
