I'm done with these communities
Depending on where I post this, I'm expecting to get censored, because of my critique
So tired of the constant censorship, the mobs, the mods who just delete all your comments/posts when they disagree with you. I'm so tired. I'm not going to name specific people or communities but it should be obvious.
These privacy communities are all run by the same oligarchs who constantly censor and delete you any time you say something they don't like, or something they disagree with. there's no way to even have a discussion anymore without constantly being in fear that some mod who can't touch grass will remove your post or comment. it gets to the point that it become really even shady.
It's gotten to the point that I feel so repressed and pushed into a corner like it's a dystopia that I can't say anything, it's so ironic. If you say anything bad about the popular and accepted tools or people, then you just get absolutely sh*t on. You get hunted down and crushed.
I have seen this happen to many other people too. People who are trying to have legitimate discussions and get shadow banned or censored for no reason
Over the years I've gone by many different accounts and names on various subreddit and a few other sites, including lemmy. Thankfully, a newer age is dawning with these federated servers, and anyone can easily make their own communities, so the censorship will be ineffective I think.
But in the meantime, I'm done. I'm deleting my accounts on reddit and lemmy, and honestly I'm just gonna not participate anymore. I joined these communities because I have a lot of knowledge to contribute, but I'm tired of feeling like everything I try to say is just going to get some mod who doesn't even get paid, angry at me or the horde swarming me and screaming for saying something that isn't completely neutral, or saying something they don't agree with. taking opinionated hard-line approaches just isn't viable anymore.
I hope my venting resonates with some others.
