One of the absolute best features of lemmy is that everyone is simply allowed to post. (lemmy.world)

automod filters made reddit an absolute nightmare. pouring my heart out on the depression sub and getting it removed because it didn't have 300 characters or it was image post saturday or god knows what. you basically just don't get to post on any sizable sub

before it was at least a lottery! post, see if people will like it! but now you can't even get a post through!

there are 50 automod filters on everything, forbidden words or topics, perfectly good questions cast away to megathreads no one reads!

it's a dire, awful landscape, and really terrible user experience, having something on your chest and wanting to post, but oh hey this won't be posted until our 'mod team' 'reviews' it. isn't that what voting is for? please stop treating me like a spambot or troll by default!

I'm sure you'll love this AutoMod bot for Lemmy I have built, then!

Seriously though, I tried to stay as true to my morals as possible writing this and that includes not judging people for the communities they choose to interact with. So there's no shadow bans nor any "you've been banned from X for having written in Y once" crap. Just removal of no no words (set by mods) and some other extra features.

Here fucking here. Everything on Reddit was a gated community and it sucked so bad.

If someone spams or continues to break the rules, the moderator can deal with it. Automods are horrible and can stay on reddit.

Same with karma. Karma can remain on reddit
