I never cared about the Reddit API war. For me, leaving Reddit was about how moderators have absolute yet arbitrary power to permanently ban users who do not agree with them. And I’m not talking about breaking their rules (racism, misogyny, transphobia) but simply having a disagreement of opinion that provides the mods an opportunity to ban you for life.

For the Reddit API thing, the funny thing was finding out I could have been using a better app the past seven years but didn’t know.

You sub to a subreddit and gen banned on others that had nothing to do with it. Try talking anou how bad the vaccines are… Get banned. It does not matter if you are right or not, cant even have the conversation

Oh, please don’t worry about that, Lemmy’s API will make it easier than Reddit’s to automatically ban plague rats

So you’re saying that you want censorship based on opinion?
