Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
The difference is that on Reddit I got suspended from the entire site for "report abuse" because I (correctly) reported misinformation in r/conservative and it hurt the snowflake mods' fee-fees.
In other words, Lemmy is structurally superior because there are no fascist admins with the power to ban you from the entire network.
Lmao, I reported genocidal comments in r/worldnews and was site banned for the same reason.
I had 4 reports total, 2 were acted on and the other 2 were pretty blatant calls to violence.
It's actually what made me quit Reddit.
For my "worldnews" ban, I called someone out for ONLY posting pro-israel content, from biased Israeli media sources, and how every comment under all their posts that disagreed were downvoted into oblivion ๐
The upvote/downvotes for my comment were shifting by dozens of votes in both directions for DAYS. It was hilarious
Conversations like this make the whole Internet feel like a shithole now.
It's funny that you call us tankies when it's Democrats and Republicans who gladly support a trillion and a half dollars a year being shipped off to war.
I'm not giving you people more time than I have to, but thanks for the suggestion.
Idk if it is just me but lemmy has appeared to have a massive right wing shift, at least a huge influx of liberals unable to have a conversation without blindly slinging accusations. A lot of people on lemmy now unable to comprehend unhappiness with the system, singing praises to the status quo and woefully inadequate reforms at best. Welcome to election season I guess.
Site bans don't carry the same weight here though. You get site banned, you can still be on all the other sites. With Reddit, a site ban means you can't access the whole network.
Meanwhile I got no questions asked appeal denied lifetime banned from Reddit for saying "I should totally be allowed to punch Nazis".
I always mentally append "Nazi sympathizers" to reddit now...
I got an account wiped out because I explained how Merari01 (a powermod with powers in hundreds of subreddits, plenty of them among the top 100 subscribers) permanently banned people in r/ContraPoints for complaining about its mods banning people for participating in third subreddits, without even checking what sort of comments they had there. I got a perma for one comment in a subreddit that didn't even show up in r/all. Back then, I looked for comments of people complaining about Merari01 in the whole site, and the only thing I could find was another powermod explaining that Merari01 had always been involved in drama with other mods and was possibly grooming a minor.
