      It would be truly sad if investors preferred it that way because terrible and boring is better than unpredictable

    I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I haven’t fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. I’ve spent hours every day on Reddit for the past like 10 years.

    But the atmosphere there has changed. The other day I made a post. A guy commented on the post, and said something completely wrong. When I pointed out that either he didn’t read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. That’s exactly how I put it. The mod said I had to keep discussions civil. When I told the mod there was nothing uncivil about pointing out someone’s obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.

    In my almost 10 years. That’s the first time I’ve been banned from a sub.

    I don’t usually talk shit to people. Really what I like to do is find people with problems, or questions. Then use my old people experience to tell them how I fucked it up. In the hopes that the person can not repeat my mistakes.

    First it was r/spacedicks

    Then it was r/watchpeopledie

    Now it’s just being “uncivil” whatever that means.

      Yep if you don’t fall inline exactly with whatever’s subs hivemind feels is the correct side to be on it’s a ban. Happened to me on /r/energy. Just made a very simple and non provocative comment about how I thought nuclear power should be considered more, instant ban. Wound up getting kicked off reddit completely because of that, it pissed me off so much I switched to a multi account and commented again. Reddit was cool but it’s time is up. Couldn’t be happier to give it up, I have not been back on it in a month now and I miss nothing.

    He clearly realized that Reddit was too good and needed some competition to show the investors that they are still top dog. /s
