    Wow, they don’t even tell you what they decided your “violating actions” were.

    Why are they even making a show of this? Couldn’t they just show you different numbers, they’re fuzzed anyway, or shadow ban you, or any of the other ways to make your votes disappear?

      The show is the point. Users are supposed to self-censor out of fear, which is far more effective than any form of automated censorship. Reddit just implement the “chilling effect”.

      Welcome to Lemmy! It’s much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.

      Please don’t be discouraged if your niche hobby isn’t represented here. I’m not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn’t exist, go ahead and create it! 😁

      I’m sure Orwell didn’t really expect telescreens to become a real thing, but we have very literally welcomed surveillance devices into our lives and homes. Now, it’s just a matter of who starts actively using them as a monitoring device.

      I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time

      I was considering getting an account after being off Reddit for almost 2 years just because there are some pretty large active transgender communities then I saw this.

      Probably not, reddit, like all modern social media platforms, is essentially “too big to fail”. They have captured and cornered their markets and will continue to dominate indefinitely.

      Throughout all of these things reddit’s user growth has went up, not down. Daily Active Users grow, month over month, more than 20x the entire population of Lemmy., just think about that, there’s more growth to the daily active user count on a monthly basis (not the totally user count), then the entire population of Lemmy, x20.

      It’s depressing to think about. But it’s also reality. And reality fucking sucks.

      All I can hope is that lemmy and similar continue to grow.
