A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I'd scared too.

Wait. Why did it get banned though?

[–] ethaver@kbin.earth 79 points 5 days ago (1 children)

right like the actual reason is obvious but what's the "official" / stated reason?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 days ago

I assume they aren't even bothering anymore. Redditors have proven they'll put up with anything.

Too many beans.

Boring answer: a sub having no mods is a typical reason why a sub gets banned.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 56 points 5 days ago

That's not the answer. It states specifically when a sub is banned for having no mods. The message says it was banned for violating rules.

I'm guessing they found some trumped up reason to get rid of it.

It’s about damage control.

In r/RedditAlternatives they explain that the mod, while still an active account (reportedly posting a lot in r/Lebanon), basically has left r/Lemmy unmoderated. (You can find more details about what happened by visiting r/Lemmy using old reddit, it would seem) So it makes sense actually.

The fact is, anyone interested in Lemmy isn't going to be talking about it to Redditors on Reddit in a sub dedicated solely to Lemmy... anymore.

The Threadiverse won that battle, as much as it can, and now development continues forward with PieFed that is even more highly received and recommended by Redditors (Reddit hates tankies far more than we do here). Thus there is no more need for a r/Lemmy. 🎉🥳
