I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

Things I have been permanently banned for:

Saying dragons aren't real
Referencing The Bee Movie
Pointing out Kamala Harris was not the president
Upvoting a comment

Admins and moderators of all stripes: you should be handing out three-day bans like candy. You can give people a month-long fuck-off time-out, and in the future, they will think twice. Even if it takes a few whacks. But all a one-step permanent ban does is chase people to new accounts. That's why outright trolls do it - it's not hard, and you don't seem great at catching them. The experience for people who are merely wrong has to be better than for people who are actively malicious, or you will cease to see any difference between their behavior.

I was banned for posting a joke gif from 'a little shop of horrors' because I was jokingly saying that a source was "biased" by being plantbasednews.com.

Also, banned from .ml for arguing against xenophobia towards people from the us. As if anyone controls where they are born.
