Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

This place feels like Reddit felt back in the early '10s. It’s great.
Part of the glory days of the internet. We should recreate more of that.
Exactly! I remember the excitement back in 2006/2007 when I first tried it. Not much content back then, but it felt like freedom.
This is the reason why I never posted anything on Reddit but started here.
Where’s all the jokey banterous subs?
It’s far better than reddit is but real discussions still aren’t allowed to happen. Before 2016 or so I was still subscribed to /politics because while we didn’t always agree, we could at least discuss. Then in 2016 everyone got TDS and became a fragile child, unable to handle adult topics without banning or reporting. Wrongthink became a reality. And it’s very much a reality here at lemmy.world and other large fediverse instances.
Before 2016 you didn’t have right wing bots convincing all the fringe morons to band together for fascism. I was on Reddit before, discourse was civil until the right went crazy and started believing anything that aligned even slightly with their views. Then anyone who disagreed was a “fragile child” or criticizing their leaders was met with the likes of “TDS”. All they do is parrot buzzwords.

I don’t mind downvotes. But I cannot debate when banned.
And there is no subtlety in the mods behaviour. They ban based on dog whistles that only they can hear.
