As someone who actually does read the rules for a bunch of places; they often have no relationship to what actually gets enforced.
This isn’t just a problem for social media communities. A bunch of business use boilerplate contracts and terms-of-service that again have no relation to how they actually operate.
For claiming GMOs are bred for glyphosate resistance, which is the real reason why USDA Organic products grew significantly in the market, not because consumers actually think Organic produce is “naturally” healthier.
But this was only enforced after I pissed off the mod in Political Memes and he went backwards through my comment history to find me in another community he mods to delete another comment lol.
Still a million times better than the reddit experience.
Lemme guess, that mod’s username starts with j and ends with d? Cuz that sure sounds familiar.
Literally the only mod action I can recall encountering here. Squatting on communities to control discourse like that is Reddit all over again, sadly. Still like it more, but it doesn’t bode well.
Mods on Reddit: Make sure you check the “do not post” list to make sure your post is not one of the 3k listed
Dude, I swear I still have PTSD from that shithole lol
Everytime I post a meme I stare at New for almost 10 minutes waiting for it to get removed, before I remember “Oh wait, this is Lemmy”
Seen posts with -50 downvotes that still stay at the top of Hot lol, it’s glorious
It was so off putting when you just wanted to share something and proceeded to get struck down by the wrath of the mods, or worse, the completely opaque auto filtering CQS system. As you can probably tell from my profile, I love making memes, but only really had the courage to start when I joined Lemmy, since if I made a bad one here it would just get downvoted and I would have a chance. This place is such a breath of fresh air.
