Bans, removals, and the inability to mod (lemmy.ml)

As much as Reddit sux because of the company's policies or mod problems etc., Lemmy is equally as bad.

Shadow banning is rampant on both platforms for instance. The biggest problem is that the people in charge of subs, or the instances, are incapable of governing -maybe not the best word- and don't understand words. It's a complete shit show everywhere.

Where have all the edgy and factual comments gone? Victims to mod bias and their political leanings. In some instances, they don't understand what they are reading, or don't like it, and ban everyone and remove posts like they are getting paid for bigger numbers.

Wasn't Lemmy supposed to solve this problem?

It's more like content steering, yes. But from the perspective of someone that frequents a thread, it's shadowy. All the content vanishes and remembering the usernames that commented, so I can look up what was removed, is just not practical.

It's really bizarre and sadly dystopian.

starting to feel like Lemmy was the bad guys all along as well. Not the actual people who make and manage the Lemmy code, just the inherent type of people that flock to moderation, are shit.

People that get off having mod powers or people that want to push a particular message... ๐Ÿ˜•
