I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn’t really matter when it’s federated and FOSS. I think it’s clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?
You can just post from a different lemmy instance.
That doesn’t remove the toxic mod.
How many alts and sock puppets do you think the average person should have? This doesn’t sound healthy
There is no way to remove toxic mods. That’s why you have to work around them.
You only need one at a time. I use to spin up an entirely new reddit account whenever I got a ban on any sub. That’s what you can do on Lemmy.
Yeah, like I said, that doesn’t sound healthy
It has nothing to do with health. It is literally impossible to use a system like reddit/lemmy over the long term and not get hit with rando-bans that come out of nowhere and are completely unavoidable.
I’m not talking about getting a legit ban where you break the rules of the sub. In that case it is pointless to do “ban evasion” because you will likely repeat the behavior that got you banned. I’m talking about when you get a completely unavoidable and random ban. You WILL get those if you use a system long term.
