I’m not against it, It’s just I used reddit for everything regarding news and I overral liked engaging with posts but it’s always like I had this fear that if I say something wrong I would get banned by a moderator or something.
Also the permament ban thing is really harsh for me it should exist for posting REALLY FUCKED UP stuff, not because you posted something and a bot happened to snipe it.
Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you’re reading in a real way.
Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.
Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.
spez has been bowing to musks demands against reddit since the beginning of this year, thats why thier moderation is so heavy handed, plus AI scraping, botting,.
Before the api changes killed transparency tools, you could look at the censorship that reddit was doing. Literally 97% of posts that reached the front page were deleted.
There isn’t enough of a population to get a good small niche community going. Also it can be difficult to find the community in the first place. The fight stick community on Reddit is very active. On Lemmy it has been around for a while and remains completely dead.
it is, people are going to be on reddit , where all of them are, it would hardpress to convince them to go on lemmy, when reddit has a larger community. Only if they get banned i can see that is the only way they might come here.
Why not start your own niche community and then share it here?

I can’t stress this enough.

Sounds like stockholm syndrome to me
