    I feel ya, I was banned for “spreading hate” because there was a discussion about Muslims integrating into western countries. I said I saw a show on BBC news about it and that some Muslims were having difficulties according to them. Then I was banned, I don’t even live in the UK I have zero idea if what they said is true, just that it was a show on BBC news.

    As a member of rather niche subreddits I must admit that the quality of users are going downhill as the content gets more popular. Science now is getting polluted by commoners and their Dunning Kruger stupidity and you can’t even correct them because it’s not political appropriate anymore . RIP r/evolution r/askanthropology r/paleontology

    The only good sub that remains decent is r/rats

    I left reddit because I was upset about them killing the RIF app during the API thing a few years back. It was a bit of a transition to get used to Lemmy but after weeks/months I got use to Lemmy and am more than happy to never use reddit again. I hope reddit dies. Every time they use the censorship hammer to silence users, it vindicates the existence of Lemmy and I welcome all former redditors. Also I definitely posted content on Lemmy that reddit would have censored.

      currently here again because they recently removed r/all. I tried a while ago when they killed RIF but there wasn’t enough content/users to really keep me engaged, and now there is.

        I still have to sometimes post the content that I want to see on Lemmy. and I find a lot of benefits to a smaller community that doesn’t seek out fake internet points.

      Nope, it was a user named Manglisaurus I think, probably spelt that wrong but like i said they haven’t been banned. You can still find ghost stories about them on the r/okbuddypaleo subreddit lmao
