One of the absolute best features of lemmy is that everyone is simply allowed to post. (lemmy.world)

automod filters made reddit an absolute nightmare. pouring my heart out on the depression sub and getting it removed because it didn't have 300 characters or it was image post saturday or god knows what. you basically just don't get to post on any sizable sub

before it was at least a lottery! post, see if people will like it! but now you can't even get a post through!

there are 50 automod filters on everything, forbidden words or topics, perfectly good questions cast away to megathreads no one reads!

it's a dire, awful landscape, and really terrible user experience, having something on your chest and wanting to post, but oh hey this won't be posted until our 'mod team' 'reviews' it. isn't that what voting is for? please stop treating me like a spambot or troll by default!

I always loved how /r/blackpeopletwitter only allowed black people to post in that sub, because that's not racism.

Also, they verified users just by asking them to send a photo of their skin, like people couldn't just find a random picture online. Truly the dumbest sub in existence.

Might want to add an /s to that first sentence. I myself know that it's sarcasm, but it's not peoples' faults if they don't realize it, fam. ^^
