What made you join Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

Not to go too deep into politics but I’ve been banned from every social media platform (including Reddit!) for being vehemently anti fascist and anti capitalist.

I have some uh… opinions… about how to initiate change and they don’t involve peaceful marching with signs in circles and going home. Because we’ve done that for decades now and things are only getting worse and the capitalists are only solidifying their power especially with how fast technology is moving. We’re running out of time to overthrow these bastards before they make it impossible…

But anyways, those opinions aren’t allowed anywhere else and barely tolerated here (got banned from world after expressing my thoughts about Luigi). Too subversive and threatening I guess.

Being an anarchist is tough, it feels like online everyone hates you and accuses you of playing for the other team at least in American politics. As an anarchist I hate both teams who have the same fucking owners.
