    I haven’t actually looked at mastodon. Lemmy took a whe to figure out initially too, it’s probably similar and it just takes a bit of time.

    I managed to avoid an actual ban on reddit (probably because i didn’t use it much) and only had comments banned with a warning.

    In many ways I miss the old 90s newsgroups.

      I’ve been having comments removed on newspaper discussions , for stating inconvenient facts that were actually in the article

      and i’m getting down voted a lot on reddit a lot

      there are some massive propaganda campaigns on reddit at the moment , it shits me

      Tomorrow I am exploring Bluesky , which looks a bit like mastodon but with many more members

        Just upvoting things like that can get you banned now, along with saying things like “eat the rich” or the name luigi in any context.

          pointing out lies by foreign fascist governments can also get you in trouble

          this is not right , it seems the terms of use are being exploited by bad actors
