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?

I got banned from reddit for saying the genocide in Gaza was bad.

Really? It's weird, I thought Reddit was more left-wing, but it seems that's not the case at all.

Right wingers have been falsely screaming "anti-conservative bias" on every social media platform for so long that admins and moderators have aquiested. It's not true, of course. Right wingers simply break the TOS and violate site rules far more often than left wingers.

I got banned for saying Israel was a fascist state and this was years before the current genocide started. Zionists have infiltrated that platform good and proper.

Most of us kinda didn't realize that Israel is a disgusting abomination until Oct 7th

These parasites really crossed some lines

Never again 🤡

I believe the politically correct term to appease the only "acceptable" narrative is war not genocide to describe a very clear targeting of Palestinian children Tsk Tsk for you not knowing it's common knowledge at this point /s
