I wanted to get an outside perspective on my Lemmy experience, so I go on /r/redditalternatives and bring up my experiences that I’ve described elsewhere here (tl;dr Lemmy communities are either filled with non sequitur ragebait or completely empty).

I get plenty of responses echoing my sentiment and offering suggestions like blocking and filtering. Plenty of others pointing out how Reddit sucks in its own way and how Lemmy addresses those issues (no creepy AI bots pretending to be real people). I feel my OP and the ongoing discussion is constructive and in good faith, and most people myself included express a desire to see Lemmy and the fediverse succeed despite our frustrations. But oops out of nowhere I get muted and banned with no explanation.

Fun times.

    fwiw pretty sure your post was duplicated over on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com earlier today and there’s a little bit of discussion over there too including comments in support of points you made. idk why that person jumps to calling troll given you even mentioned a specific community you were posting in, even without initially knowing your username it was very easy for me to see that you have been regularly active in there for a year at least.
