    To quote the great Ricky Gervais:

    The only meaningful difference between here and Reddit et al is that no one is exploiting our addictions and compulsions for financial gain here.

    Lemmy is decentralized and admins of any instance can see upvotes/downvotes and moderate their instance as they want, we are far from reddit where the ceo of the company can decide to censor the whole platform.

    I would like to highlight another problem that makes lemmy stink as much as reddit: why are you posting this in the asklemmy sub? Popular content on global frontpage is shit and a bunch of sub are hijacking all the traffic, had you posted this in another sub there would be 5 comments at best.

    Piefed.Social is a small community run by a handful of power users and trolls.

    Just block that instance and move on with your lives.

    On Voyager you can set tags on users and add an arbitrary amount of up or downvotes to their account. Looks like another will get the -1000 downvote + twat tag award!

    Yeah were there already, I once said “that’s lunacy, it would never work” in a political news thread and got removed for “abelism” lol

    And that’s when I’ve been told why, most times it’s because you disagree with the echo chamber and you get a removal or straight up ban.
