Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    That’s the same here unfortunately.

    It also sucks when you’re not American, like Reddit auto-banned a load of Irish and Brits discussing stopping smoking due to the colloquial term there.

    Unfortunately all these American-based websites really force the American views and positions on everyone.

      Well that explains it. I’m not American either and I really feel like I’m being forced into their weird social war. I just want to talk about cool gadgets without some culture warrior banning me everywhere because I didn’t show the requisite fealty to whatever the current thing is.

        Yeah, one thing I hope to leave behind with Reddit is every major subreddit farming outrage w.r.t. American politics.

        It just became exhausting and made me unsub from a lot of the big subreddits. So far, Lemmy has been quite positive! It’s refreshing.

          I don’t know if it is true but I feel like Lemmy is not really USA centric at the moment. More like assuming that a user could be from any country. I think that we should keep it that way.

        You are showing plenty of fealty to bigotry, sinophobioa, pseudoscientific transphobia, and American notion of ‘free speech’ on web forums.

        I’m deleting a few of your comments (they’re in the modlog, if anyone wants to see) and generously giving you a 1 month ban. If you decide to come back then, or sooner with another account, I recommend posting about cool gadgets (which you don’t seem to have actually done yet).

        edit: my ban was overridden by another admin; i’m new at this and might have overstepped.

        edit2: they were later re-banned.

      I hate how their news tends to take over everything over there too. I remember knowing way too much about a certain US president and that was annoying

      Hopefully with more and more instances located in different places around the world it shouldn’t be too hard to find a community or communities that are not so US-centric…
