There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

So, I used to be a redditor. For eleven years, to be precise. Back then, for the first few years I was there, things were awesome. But as time went on, things seemed to get worse. Reddit has been on the decline for a very, very long time now. The community has become very toxic at this point; if you have an opinion they don't like, they'll dogpile you over it. They let their mods get away with abusing their powers (/r/SteamDeck is a great example), and they used to allow massive hate subreddits until the backlash caught up to them as well. All in all, they don't care about their users. All they care about is keeping those clicks up. I was recently permabanned because I criticized some mods who reported it as "harassment". Reddit is not a good place anymore, but they sure like to pretend they are.

I'm officially labeling Reddit as Nazi sympathizers, this isn't a joke I am completely genuine.

The reason I know about Lemmy is because a few days ago they permanently suspended my account for "glorifying violence"

The horrible thing I said was that "I should have a legally protected right to punch Nazis" in a post featuring a video where a big dude knocks a neo nazi the fuck out. They swiftly denied an appeal to this ban as well so fuck me I guess.

Even if you think that I shouldn't be allowed to say that, (which is stupid), I don't think it's permanent ban sitewide territory, especially when far worse things are happening on that site.

Some fuckwit had to actually manually flag that, according to their obnoxiously long DM about it.

On top of everything else they had the balls to say I should "familiarize myself with the TOS" like bitch you just banned me from the whole ass site forever I think it's pretty safe to wipe my ass with the reddit TOS at this point.

You endorsed violence, that is against terms of service, there is no clause for "it's ok to endorse violence against people we don't like". If you think that a blanket ban against endorsements of violence makes them nazi sympathisers, then you have some growing up to do.

You only have yourself to blame and you should be careful that you don't find yourself banned elsewhere.

My last interaction had me answering someone’s question then getting a permaban from some insecure mod who didn’t like that reality made them sad. I just walked away after 16 years.

11 years here myself. It's a damn shame.

Worse: the question was “why do people think that..,” and the answer was literally just why those people think that. That had me apparently advocating for the abuse of children for some reason. It was weird. When I asked, they went off, called me sick, told me to get help, etc. It was totally bizarre.

That's classic reddit, naturally.
