I haven't been allowed on Reddit since I upset the AITA mods by creating the username AITA_mods_are_all_incels and have found Lemmy to be a much healthier environment.
You created a username that insults someone else and then cried because it was your own fault? Did you stop to think that you were the unhealthy environment?
Did they ever cry or say it wasn't their fault? It seems like an obvious easy way to get banned, I don't see any complaints about it. I don't think calling an asshole an asshole is an unhealthy environment, I would blame the asshole first for being the asshole.
I think most of aita is creative writing...but I definitely brought it on myself. I was super irritated and evading bans had never actually been a consequence..mind you I want rolling... probably more harsh not crass, but some bullshit is more bullshit than others.
I mean I was being a shit head...but most of the time I wasn't being a fuck face my karma was fairly high from a medium contributer.... And before Idefinitely acted an asshat, I felt aita was especiallt petty...I was fine Just No Mil and lots of aita posts...but in the end I definitely shot myself.........I'm just surprised at how deeply banned I am...I still used it passively until the API shit. Lemmy is pretty good...and my posting history doesn't show trolling here
I agree with the healthier environment, it's kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It's a small community but I don't mind that and it's actually good in that I don't doom scroll as much cause there just isn't enough content, so I don't spend hours on it.
