    That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.

    This is in fact my very first post here. :)

    Just goes to show how easy it is to get these people upset.

    Just call them out

    Call them often

    Call them out every day

    Never stop calling them out … you’ll know they’re listening when someone either tells you or forces you to stop.

    Nazis and authoritarians every single one of them.

      I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.

    That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

      I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

          I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

          When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
