r/banned was banned by Reddit Admin team for Mod Code of Conduct violation. The state of Reddit is declining due to unfair subreddit mod actions.
From what I can gather, there were repeated problems with brigading. It's also worth noting that Lemmy uses much the same structure as Reddit, so the complaints from r/banned about "supermods" apply just as much here.
Tons of repost bots are spamming Reddit, which could confuse a lot of newcomers. The Reddit CEO said that free karma subs would not go away.
I think something big should happen sitewide for making redditors searching for an alternative and find Lemmy. It wouldn't happen in Twitter's case for example if Elon wouldn't do such critical mistakes by his side.
Exactly, I think Twitter could have continued on indefinitely if Elon hadn't dropped in and mucked everything up. The model worked well enough and they were finally tamping down the moderation issues more or less. There were problems with monetizing, but even that gap was being shrunk.
Yep. Because let's be honest, most of the people that transferred to mastodon haven't done that based on privacy reason.
Again, that's a structural problem that it shares with any Reddit-like site, at least when karma has any sort of significance. Anything with a low barrier to entry will allow bots.
