MODERATORS
 

Just left reddit because I got tired of moderation and I do not agree with political views over all. I never tried 4chan because I heard it's messed up and supposedly inject maleware on visitors like porn sites do.

As a person new to Lemmy, I just wanna know why you chose here and what you like/ dislike about there.

I chose federated networks, not Lemmy per se. Right now I use:

  • Firefish (Mastodon with a better kit)
  • Kbin (Developing Lemmy alternative w/o problematic devs)
  • Pixelfed (Instagram alternative, good except export tools lacking)

Federated is awesome because its more open and encourages choice, and I actually feel like there are friends to be made.

No social forum is without its zealous rule enforcers. Reddit at some point went past that straight into oligarchic authorianism. Or in less pretentious words, reddit mods were more and more often huge cunts.

Lemmy is more partitioned. Mods only get cuntish on topics they get invested in for now, which is normal, because they're not robots.
It's better to walk away from conflicts here and skip what doesn't fit your views.
