Did they ban for this rule often?

"Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?

I hate how Reddit mods ban any post they don't like as being 'low effort / shit / spam' when it is completely vague.

Lemmy is even worse on the moderation front, even with public logs: https://a.imagem.app/G3R9xb.png

  • Lemmy isn't simply Lemmy since it's federated. A screenshot like this is somewhat meaningless without specifying on which instance this happened. There are instances with very lax or even no moderation at all.

    • For the majority of large, well-federated instances, I don't think it's meaningless, because deletions also propagate to other instances.

      If a mod on one server doesn't like something I say, and they delete my comment, all the other (well-behaved) federated instances will also delete my comment.

      Of course this also creates problems in the other direction, like servers that ignore deletion requests.

      That combined with a large amount of blocked instances across the board, I feel like you get into this "which direction would you like to piss into the wind" situation where you have no idea how many people/instances will actually see your message if at all.
