I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn’t really matter when it’s federated and FOSS. I think it’s clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?

    there is nothing you can do about it

    You can just post from a different lemmy instance.

      That doesn’t remove the toxic mod.

      How many alts and sock puppets do you think the average person should have? This doesn’t sound healthy

        There is no way to remove toxic mods. That’s why you have to work around them.

        You only need one at a time. I use to spin up an entirely new reddit account whenever I got a ban on any sub. That’s what you can do on Lemmy.
