especially if you use old.lemmy.world which mimics Reddit’s old format (which I love and use). Kinda hard to tell the difference without looking at the URL
It’s so refreshing being able to say stuff that’s like mildly controversial and not have to worry if I’m gonna wake up to a big red “YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE, THE ENTIRE THING, FOREVER. NO ONE TO TALK TO. ALONE.”
Had my 12-year-old account banned without recourse or appeal because I quoted someone using a mild slur so they couldn’t edit it after I reported them, I got the ban from that subreddit instead, mod was a blithering child who just laughed and told me to fuck off, the next day reddit admins had perma-banned me and I don’t have the energy to do the whole IP-reset-cookie-clearing dance to make an account that isn’t automatically shadowbanned.
The people I knew there, the communities I modded, all gone. Fuck that site. It’s now like half bots anyway.
Had my fifteen year old account permabanned a short while ago because I reported someone for following me from sub to sub to call me slurs and tell me to commit suicide. This was “abusing the report button”, apparently. (I only sent a single report about this person.) Everyone in my household got their accounts nuked as well.
All new accounts are shadowbanned. Your first comment is visible, and then if you comment too much, they’re all invisible. They don’t become visible again for like a month.
oh I know, I was a mod of a large sub and know the rules, or at least how they used to be. They really didn’t like me, likely because I was antagonizing conservatives a lot harder than I antagonize leftists here.
I had a similar experience, except I posted facts as a refute on some conservative subreddits. I had 2 accounts at the time and upvoted it, and bam, everything of 10 years, gone.

ngl i did a double take here.

why isn’t this a feature on .ml :'(
I’d recommend switching instances for a few other reasons than that
I was trying to figure it out and made it way more complex:
“So, I guess a mod is a mod on reddit as well, and they must have a cool mod app/tool that let’s them moderate both at once!”
Then:
“Or…Ohhhhhh. Well, that is a simpler explanation” 😆

I can say whatever I want here!

It’s hard to create new accounts, but I don’t disagree.
