A mod on here literally removed a whole thread I was in recently because they didn’t want to have to moderate the thread.
Tryna be active on local servers but so many of them require real names, face pics, social media before even having ACCESS to the server. Like gee, could I atleast see what I’m missing out on? Just so I don’t fall for a honey pot at the very least? I genuinely couldn’t join them because I don’t have social media, even if I did I wouldn’t post my face to them (pre-requisite are socials with face in them)
Its very obvious they’re all made by extremely tech and privacy illiterate people.
just got banned from worldnews for calling a ml user scum.
reason for ban?
banned multiple times
didn’t know you could be banned because you’ve been banned before.
when I looked at who banned me, it seems they really don’t like me across multiple communities over my entire lemmy history.
pretty sure I just pissed them off on one of their alts.
welcome to reddit!
my favorite ban on reddit was when I made a joke about IG popularity of Santorini and the mod banned me because they had just gone there and felt insulted, and straight up admitted it in DM. Then reported me to admin for ‘harassing’ them when I said ‘really dude?’ and that was my second IP ban.
everything is feelings in 2026.
Deleted every account years ago and never looked back. Recommend. The peace is enjoyable and Lemmy is chill.
Lemmy is not chill. Try saying something this hivemind doesn’t like. Wherever people gather, they’re going to do people things. Lemmy is small, so the number of shitty people is relatively smaller.
Yeah. It can be chill until it very much isn’t.
Certain instances moreso than others.
As a new user, a meme ranking instances from least to most chill would be illuminating
You’re on lemmy.zip, you’re good. Look at any of the admin demigodrick’s posts and you’ll see what I mean
still shitty trolls with sock puppets, brigading, harassing, and being gross on lemmy too. but the volume is much lower.
Voyager’s tagging feature has made all of this not only easier to deal with, but sort of fun. I can make up my own labels such as ‘verified physicist’ or ‘paedo Nazi cunt’, and colour code them to easily spot them in threads. It diffuses my anger at trolls since I can spot them right away now. Highly recommend Voyager as a front end for Lemmy (and also to binge watch as the nights get long, Janeway is the bomb).
Voyager also has per-user vote tracking, so even without tagging someone you can see at a glance how often you’ve liked or disliked their posts and comments in the past. It makes detecting quality contributors or trolls much easier.
For example, I haven’t tagged LillyPup yet but there’s a green +54 next to your name so I know I’ve enjoyed your contributions many times in the past. :)
You’re +2 for me! I think we just haven’t interacted that much from my end, because now I’ve tagged you as a Standup Guy, in green.

I didn’t know about this option before. Looks like it’s not retroactive though
Why don’t they just say Reddit?
Because it also happens on lemmy
Does it?
You’ve been here 3 years, so you know it does.
Because it’s everywhere online. It’s not just a Reddit-problem. It’s an everywhere-problem. I didn’t even make this, I only edited the text and made the blue space a lot bigger around the blob. This is actually a meme template that’s been used a few times here and there for various purposes, it has a good message.
I had this exact experience on Lemmy, on blahaj actually, when a mod banned me for trying to give an honest and inclusive answer. Apparently I was feeding the trolls and banned as some kind of zero tolerance thing? No idea what happened but it reminded me of the Reddit mods who are irrationally angry at anyone who isn’t 100% aligned with their world view.
So you went to .world, to avoid overzealous and unnecessary bans and moderation. Lol.
Blahaj has a very strict stance. I thought it was a bit much at first myself, but their instance doesn’t have the same feel of those snobbish reddit/lemmy communities that ban anyone who doesn’t agree with their top posters/mods. Their intense moderation is meant to encourage participation which sounds paradoxical but does seem to be working.
