A Dutch site, but with a bit of translation applied it should be perfectly readable from Dutch to English.
Also you are not bombarded with ads unlike the original the guardian link, they link to that article and so it’s available if preferred.
“Gee, the usual suspects, oh I guess I’m racist now”.
That was it, just a snarky cynical comment / “joke” relating to a couple of store robbers/thieves.
“Encouraging hate”, or something like that according to the ban.
Way over the top reaction by a mod or admin, keep in mind I got nothing but upvotes on that comment too.. somebody really didn’t like that.
Im too new to tell if Lemmy is more left or right leaning or somewhere in the middle.
But Reddit is extreme left wing, you can’t even make a (bad) joke without getting banned.
Ironically the oil companies back in the 60’s, did an extensive research into what exactly would happen to the climate and ecology etc, if they kept drilling for and using fossil fuel etc.
It’s so accurate that even todays models aren’t that good (I find that fact odd), but bottomline, they knew.. they knew, but kept on doing it anyway.
Considering I just got “permanently suspended” for making a bad joke on WTF, no appeal possible (nobody replies), Lemmy seems more fair.
As getting banned for the entire site, so to speak, is really unlikely if not impractical versus Reddit where if one mod doesn’t like you, if left leaning (and they are all left wing fascists basically) you are F’ed.
Reddit is super left wing, Lemmy is too small (now) to compare or make any comparison to which is “worse”, so it can only be better right now.
