Why is anyone still bothering with Reddit aside from search result necessity?

MODERATORS
I do it rarely when I have specific questions that need answers. But nit all subreddits, because some large subreddits are unhelpful like Steamdeck.. so meh. Its a mix. Reddit is visited once a month I think because of this desire to get a wider tange of people to read tbe question.
Sometimes the mods over there are like this
Yeah, I got banned (from a community) my first week of Lemmy on this instance just for saying I thought both capitalism and communism were wrong, suggesting something between the many 'isms" as an ideal solution. I wasn't even being rude about it.
Mods here too, apparently.
Public modlogs help us fight against it, though.
And admins
Primarily hexbear for me
When you are concern trolling about a characters sexual orientation in the movie sub, then you had it coming.
If you indeed asked in good faith, then there's a appeal process. Remember to more carefully word your questions pertaing to sexual minorities.
Or c/vegan
Haven't had to deal with: "agreeing with a post, then harassed by a few comments then banned with comment deleted" with /c/vegan yet but I understand the struggle.
/C/shitpost for me, lawl.
The vegan thing is a dumpster fire. They had a mod go off the deep end and start banning everyone.
I really don't get how people let modding go to their heads. I. Mod a few small communities and big whoop. Even if I modded a bigger one, there is a broad line between acceptable content on Lemmy and unacceptable content. Just because you have a contrary or shit take does not mean you need to be banned. Just because people are getting butthurt doesn't mean you need to ban offenders. Diversity of opinion is a good thing for a community, unless that opinion supports Nazism or some other shit which promotes hatred.
The mod there was mad banning people who downvoted anything on the sub and got evicted
That’s how it’s supposed to be though, they warn before they shoot.
The reason bans are permanent more often these days is because of the new Reddit ui. It defaults to permanent and too many mods are lazy.
That sounds very on-brand for AI these days.
Yep
Yep, so much of Reddit is like that... Creating an adversarial relationship with users ...and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.
Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.
Consider so many people still use X, never underestimate how much self inflicted pain a user is willing to endure over changing their lifestyle.
also some communities have their mods completely replaced since Reddit's api changes, because the former mods didn't want to cooperate
I discovered that it happened for r/piracy and it's one of the main reasons I got to lemmy since they have a big community here
anyway it makes sense that these replaced mods hate the community, it's the reason they are there in the first place
Context?
I haven't been there in over a year now, but it sounds about the same as it was then.
Here on Lemmy we just defederate with horrible instances and start our own communities!
Big fish in a small pond.
It's getting worse in more ways than one, I wouldn't argue against that. But getting banned isn't something I've come across. Posts removed or zero engagement on comments? Yes, all the time.
I feel like the way to get banned from /parenting is to bring up anti-natalism or childfree.
