    It’s because the snowflake liberal techies are the ones that are left using Lemmy now 🤷… sorry, but that’s the truth… the extreme right and left wingers are no better though, so that basically makes up of about 90% of the Lemmy userbase now. The normies are gone. They tried it, some got pissed about the bannings, some about defederation, some about instances going dark and they went back to reddit 🤷.

    There also seems to be shadow banning now (though I have no idea how it’s done here on Lemmy). I posted this a few hours ago… no comments, no upvotes, no downvotes… this is the 2nd post that I get no replies on. I asked people on Lemmy if they could see it, some could, some couldn’t but none of them got the post on their feed.

    And this basically means that I’d have to switch accounts again (the first few times were because instances went dark over night), because someone decided to shadow ban me for… god knows what reason 😒.

      Prehaps if your worried about shadow banning you should consider switching to the .world instance as in my experience they tend to be quite lenient over there could also be that people aren’t interested in your memes comedy’s subjective after all what some people may find funny others may not although this is the .ml instance which is the instance which the dev is on and he has a history for shit like this

        The weird thing is, there are no upvotes or downvotes. I’ve been downvoted to oblivion before, it’s not news to me, it’s the lack of it that makes me think that.

        Fuck it, I’ll switch instances again.

        Yes, that seems to be the issue.

        To be honest, with all the banning and defederation goin on on Lemmy right now, I really thought that it might be a feature now or that someone implemented custom code to make it a feature.
