• abusive admins/mods
  • mods being cults of personality
  • vibe bans with incorrect rule used with no appeal process
  • automod
  • auto bans for participation in other spaces

I came here in November of last year looking for an alternative to reddit, and in that time, this space has transformed to look more like reddit than I ever expected it to become.

I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t just reddit all over again with a smaller userbase.

    You and I have had very different experiences. I don’t mean to invalidate yours however.

    There’s some rogue admins and mods, sure, but I haven’t come up against them much in over two years and it’s not like I’ve been walking on eggshells.

    Where have you experienced this the most? Certain instances or mods?

    Edit: and fwiw, in my eyes it was clear from the beginning that dot world set out to be reddit on the fediverse

    And I remain relatively neutral on this. It’s their hardware, resources, and time. I didn’t have to sign up there.
