I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.

Sorry for any disturb, bye :3

P.S.

Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.

    I came with the mass exodus in the spring of 2023 (used a .world account for a while before making this one). The handling of app developers was just a final straw for me; I had been a pretty prolific commentor, but the experience was getting worse and worse over the years. I started thinking about finding another place after that time Russia disconnected the country from the Internet for a day and Reddit was wonderful. Political discussions were friendly, trolls largely disappeared, and the whole site became much more left-leaning. I hate the feeling of being manipulated.

        The first account I made on Lemmy was on lemmy.world (same account name), but they had issues with uptime and response time for a while, so I made this one on Lemmy.ca. a nice feature of Lemmy is that you can make accounts on different instances and generally see all the same content (except for federation differences). If nothing else, it’s good to have a backup account in case your instance goes down.
