Just deleted reddit and working on getting off of facebook. I'm actually glad to be here. It's a bit of an adjustment but I think it's for the better. Cheers everyone.

It's easier to choose and curate for oneself. Blocking comms actually works (even if blocking instances or users doesn't). I don't see any tankie comms anymore, even if I still have to argue with .ml users in comments on other threads.

And even though mods can ban from communities or instances, no automated admin bots can give you a site-wide ban over petty reasons. I can say I hate nazis without getting my entire IP banned for "hate speech"...

You can still get your account nuked by butthurt admins.

Though again, still far better than Reddit.

Really? How? I thought instances had the highest level of control? Or are admins a per-instance thing?

The admins literally administer the instances. Many of them directly running the instances on hardware they pay for. Even if the API didn't allow it, they could just directly delete your user record from the DB.

Right, exactly, that's my point. None of them can ban you from the fediverse, just their instance.

Well getting your account that you groomed up for who knows how long nuked is pretty damn close. Especially if you're a main contributor to a comm or two and all that work disappears.
