I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I haven’t fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. I’ve spent hours every day on Reddit for the past like 10 years.
But the atmosphere there has changed. The other day I made a post. A guy commented on the post, and said something completely wrong. When I pointed out that either he didn’t read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. That’s exactly how I put it. The mod said I had to keep discussions civil. When I told the mod there was nothing uncivil about pointing out someone’s obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.
In my almost 10 years. That’s the first time I’ve been banned from a sub.
I don’t usually talk shit to people. Really what I like to do is find people with problems, or questions. Then use my old people experience to tell them how I fucked it up. In the hopes that the person can not repeat my mistakes.
First it was r/spacedicks
Then it was r/watchpeopledie
Now it’s just being “uncivil” whatever that means.
