  • I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

    Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

    Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

    Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.












  • I got a 1-2 week Reddit site wide ban earlier this year for stating to the mod of a sub that I was going to circumvent the sub ban by using an alt account. The mod banned me because I hold a different opinion and the person obviously didn’t like it.

    I used an alt account to circumvent the site wide ban using the exact same IP addresses and devices, and Reddit didn’t do anything; not even a warning.

    It’s not in the interest of Reddit to permanently ban you from their website. They lose advert money and they lose actively monthly users numbers which affect their stock prices.







  • Everyone I’ve tried from the Play store feels too basic compared to Nova or their rating is too low because of bugs.

    Edit: in hindsight it looks like I’m a paid shill for Nova. This isn’t the case at all. I’ve been looking at launchers for the past few weeks as I recently realised I’ve had the same set up style for over a decade. I don’t want to be the person stuck in the past doing stuff the slower and archaic ways when there are newer and better ways of doing things. I currently have over 20 launchers installed on my phone and I’ve been slowly trying some.
