That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
I always say this to people who have left Reddit for some reason and land on Lemmy:
Brother, you left New York and landed in New Jersey. It's the same doom here, if not worse. We are reddit's Alaska, made up of weirdos, outcasts, the socially damned, and Linux-philliacs.
Welcome, but don't get too excited.
This isn't like reddit at all! Not even a bit! Here the up votes are blue!
No it's red. Everyone can have their own prefered expreience, unlike over on reddit, where you must do as corporate demands.
Bend over for Lord Spez, like a good boy!
I was gonna mention that line in my own comment, but I'm glad someone else mentioned it.
This place is literally the exact opposite of reddit in that regard. We welcome the overwhelming leftist political dooming. It grounds us in reality.
I really don't understand what both you and OP mean with "leftist doomerism". I can completely understand if you have a different leaning and don't wish to be part of a community that mostly disagrees with you, but is talking of the problems of the world "doomerism" to you?
I'm banned from "You Should Know" and only found out recently, got no clue why. Reminds me of those random reddit bans.
the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
...So you came here? 🤨
Ah yes, the Fediverse the bastion for check notes anarchists, socialists, communists, and other leftists. With three instances being known as the Tankie Triad. The major conservative communities are for leftists to make fun of conservatives.
Yup, no extreme left political thinking here.
while 18, had very child like designs.
Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it wrong. And it is absolutely legal if they are 18+, at least where I live it is.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that
No wonder you were banned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos
No they were not pedos by any reasonable standard if the characters were above 18.
EDIT PS:
If this was really about pedophilia, the correct place to report it is the authorities, and not to some moderators so they can hide the evidence.
The fact that this NEVER happened, shows that OP knows he was just pearl clutching, and didn't actually have a case.
You're clearly cherry picking OP's comment there, conveniently leaving out what makes what they saw problematic.
I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.
Those terms are specifically used by the pedo "roleplay" portion of the anime fandom, there's not really any ambiguity there.
Like, on the first sentence, I'd agree with you. But the second sentence makes it clear that they saw the disgusting part of the fandom.
They said it was about Lucky Star. That show is literally about a group of high school girls. They're not adults in the slightest so I'm not even sure why OP said that. None of the characters are 18+.
And....the pedo defenders are here.
You can play that game all you want, a character that looks 5 and you say is 18+ or 200 years old...is still a fucking 5 year old looking character.
The fuck is wrong with you people.
What utter bullshit
Um I found a bunch of child molesters, reported them but got banned
But like I stuck around for months after and only left coz the socialist were telling me that the fascists I believe in are destroying the country, the rule of law and its institutions
/s
So the child fucking molesters weren't enough to make you leave but leftist were.
Fuck you
Lol, I'd like to see what they refer to as "extreme leftist political dooming" since it's probable that Lemmy has a relatively higher amount of material that would fit the bill.
Welcome! We don't have pedos, but we do have our fair share of extremist leftists. I'd advice against visiting communities on the hexbear and lemmygrad instances if you are not pro-communism/russia/china.
Furthermore you might want to read up on the idea of "instances" and what makes the fediverse different from lemmy. It helps explain how communities work here, but you can also just figure it out on the go.
The lemmy.ml instance, for example, is the OG instance. It has a few far-left communities and users, but plenty of a-political communities and user as well.
My isntance, sh.itjust.works, is a general-purpose instance based in Canada.
You're on PieFed, which is different from Lemmy for some reason haha.
As far as I can tell, Piefed exists because some people didn't like that the lemmy devs are communists.
I haven't looked into piefed, I'm exclusively going off what pro-piefed/anti-lemmy users have said.
That's not right. If anything, the problem would be that they support aggressive authoritarian regimes or that they're more anti-west than communist.
I left lemmy because of the nutomic, yogthos, and dessalines. horrible people who have too much influence/control on all things lemmy and will ban/silence you for anything. check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Piefed exists because some people didn't like that the lemmy devs are communists.
But then they could have used Mbin, which is older than Piefed?
Iirc wasn't it because python is easier for beginners to learn than rust and php, so it's easier to get more contributors and thus deliver features faster?
Piefed is way nicer to use than mbin, feature rich.
I've used all three mentioned. While I don't like the lead Lemmy dev, I actually just like Piefed more it's not just out of principal.
I mean, fuck reddit, but a character that is 18 years old is objectively not a child, nor would sexualizing them be pedopholia.
Also lol, this place is far more left than reddit.
I don't know the specifics, but it wouldn't be the first time artists say one thing for legal reasons but draw kids in sexual situations. "She's actually 2000 years old according to this backstory I made up, so it's OK"
I mean, this place is quite a bit further left than Reddit. A lot of leftist stuff on Reddit started getting banned after Elon got his fee-fees hurt over people mocking DOGE.
And, it’s kinda weird that the last straw was the anti-fascism rather than the creeps.
"extreme left"
Were they against shit like street executions? Were they in support of shit like free school lunch?
Oh man I hate the extreme left!
While there's certainly a lack of content (and by extension diverse voices) compared to Reddit here, there's definitely less corporate manipulation. It's a nice palate cleanser of that gross astroturfing fiefdom.
I was banned as well for commenting too much against the zionists... pedos and zionists are not allowed topics in there... welcome to Lemmy, btw
And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.
Genuine question, what does this mean? Is this slang about minors?
constant reporting can apparently result in a ban, because "you reported too much" or whatever reason. reddit allows alot more bots to astroturf the site than usual. reddits far-left community is quite small compared to here. its more or lest center right beliefs.
reporting seems to be a extremely futile exercise on reddit, because only gets you banned in the end anyways.
Your mental block will never allow you to understand this but reddit is a right wing pedo shithole.
Careful.
One of the mods of this sub will threaten to delete this post unless you can provide them with what they consider to be proof of your claims. They'll even go so far as to lie and say they tested your claims and found them to be baseless, despite clearly not testing your claims.
