I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It’s just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there’s no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don’t even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it’ll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there’s a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I’ll find them here or more people will join and it’ll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?
I’ve used a lot of different forum types and it’s sometimes impressive how much of a systematic difference some decisions can make. By not putting your scoreboard on your profile, simply just not adding a couple of numbers to the page, ‘karma’ just isn’t on my mind and there’s no incentive to farm it.
It’s degamifying, and it’s a good thing.
