I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.

You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.

They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.

Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?

It's not a problem like it is on Reddit though because the admins/moderators on lemmy.ml can't censor the network, just the coms they moderate. Using instances and coms that have moderation policies you prefer will always be an option, there's no single authority.

    You have a point, but in reality this isn't exactly what instances advertise, so especially users who aren't already in the loop are unaware of what they are not seeing. Even more so because defederation-heavy instances also treat discussions on the matter as off-topic or worse, so those users are actively prevented from making an informed decision.
