I’m a lurker. I don’t post on facebook or reddit or anywhere. Today I randomly got a message from reddit that my account was permanently banned for apparent repeated violations of their site wide rules. I have the ReVanced app on my phone that blocks ads on reddit just so those scumbags can’t profit off me lurking, but it’s the only reason I could fathom that is why I’ve been banned. Anyway I just wanted to vent so thanks for reading this if you did. Reddit fucking sucks.

    In my experience, people here are nicer than the people in, for example, r/politics. However, that’s not saying much. I never commented in r/politics. I only commented in those niche communities that don’t exist here and Lemmy is a big step down compared to them in terms of the quality of the discourse. (It helped that the communities I participated in would ban people for being rude.)

      That’s fair. I don’t think it’s really that the discourse is lower quality on the niche subjects but rather that it just doesn’t exist most of the time. One of the consequences of being an early adopter.
