What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Well that explains it. I'm not American either and I really feel like I'm being forced into their weird social war. I just want to talk about cool gadgets without some culture warrior banning me everywhere because I didn't show the requisite fealty to whatever the current thing is.

Yeah, one thing I hope to leave behind with Reddit is every major subreddit farming outrage w.r.t. American politics.

It just became exhausting and made me unsub from a lot of the big subreddits. So far, Lemmy has been quite positive! It's refreshing.

Yeah, I got banned from loads of random subreddits for posting in /r/LockdownSkepticism just supporting the policy of where I live (in Sweden). It was bizarre.

Likewise if you dared oppose the US-specific policy of forcing toddlers to wear face-masks. Wasn't a thing anywhere in Europe, but you'd get banned for misinformation on Reddit.

You are showing plenty of fealty to bigotry, sinophobioa, pseudoscientific transphobia, and American notion of 'free speech' on web forums.

~~I'm deleting a few of your comments (they're in the modlog, if anyone wants to see) and generously giving you a 1 month ban. If you decide to come back then, or sooner with another account,~~ I recommend posting about cool gadgets (which you don't seem to have actually done yet).

edit: my ban was overridden by another admin; i'm new at this and overstepped.

Whoever overrode you is a coward

You were right; whoever overrode you is being too nice to bigots. I'm honestly sickened right now.
