You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
And then people leave the community managed by the power tripping mods for another one: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663?scrollToComments=true
That wouldn’t be possible on Reddit, those kind of posts would get removed
A Lemmy admin banning you only prevents you from interacting with communities on their instance.
Only the admins of your home instance can completely ban your account.
Power tripping admins get usually reported on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Did you dive in the removals to understand them? They were Tech news posted in the tech community and removed as off topic. Some of them are even posted by other users using different sources.
Was it on !technogy@lemmy.world? Feel free to document the actions on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Alternatively, you can use !technology@lemmy.zip
Are you seriously asking?
Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.
What happens when most instances choose to implement this?
A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.
Try to use any small instance and try to find communities outside Lemmy. World.
I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities
- !ask@lemm.ee
- !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
- !fediverse@piefed.social
- !movies@lemm.ee
- !science@mander.xyz
- !android@lemdro.id
- !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
- !linux@programming.dev
- !funny@sh.itjust.works
So, it’s accepted in your eyes to have a limited privacy here?
Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
.world and .ee are the closest things to that
I wouldn’t put them in the same basket, LW is 3 times bigger than Lemm.ee : https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
mods are abusing their powers
Seems like most of the mod actions taken about you are about off topic posts: https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?userId=16440635
LW
How so?
VPN and tor
Some instances do, and you can choose to use them instead. That’s the main pro of federation.
Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now
What issues do you face?
Users privacy
It’s a public forum, so privacy has a limit. However, you can delete your account and posts. Also, Lemmy apps have much less permissions than the Reddit one.
The linked Reddit thread has a lot of comments showing that it went quite well for a lot of people
EDIT: I notice that one of my words was redacted. I think that is an example of the slippery slope that is part of shittification. I understand why it was removed. Very well actually, despite my developmental disorder. That’s right, I am developmentally removed. It probably will automatically redact the word again in my previous sentence. I get it, the word itself has shifted in meaning due to it being used in a derogatory manner excessivel
Lemmy.ml has a word filter in place. Feel free to join another instance to avoid it
It’s not about learning, it’s inertia.
Bluesky is easier to use than Mastodon, but still doesn’t have the same level of popularity as Twitter. Sports and entertainment for instance, are still mostly happening on Twitter.
Isn’t that what https://frontpage.fyi/ is?
The fediverse is never going to grow to anything other than a tiny niche if it isn’t immediately understandable to people who have 0 background in tech.

You can’t expect most folks to really understand the idea of Lemmy instances for example.
They don’t need to. Nowadays the recommendation to promote Lemmy is
