Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?
It’s a lot more free than reddit, but the userbase of lemmy is a lot more extremist and tends to harass/insult you more. The issue is they can’t get you banned sitewide like they could on reddit for saying something that upsets them. on reddit i got a sitewide ban for having and outdoor cat. it was absurd, but the idiot mob mentality on reddit has that power. on lemmy they don’t, at worst you would just get banned from one instance.
