What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

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 overstepped.

You were right; whoever overrode you is being too nice to bigots. I'm honestly sickened right now.
