It has been almost two years I’ve been on this wonderful platform (Lemmy) and I kept my reddit account so that when people complain on reddit about oppressive mods, I direct them to Lemmy. I have gotten atleast ten or fifteen people over to Lemmy since. People who don’t like all the strict rules and Authoritarianism on there.
Did they stop banning people who mentioned Lemmy?
Never banned me. There is a Lemmy subreddit. I am not sure if it is still afloat. I will check now.
Edit: not there anymore. Was there last year. There is one for the Fediverse still up.
Also, if you argue that Lemmy is better than Reddit, there is a bigger chance that you will get banned. But if you state facts like just tell them what Lemmy and the Fediverse is, and that people are a little more civil over here, they don’t ban. At least in my experience.
I would also like to know. I think mentioning it might be fine, it’s the direct linking that would get you I think.
I’ve only been banned on r/technology. R/politics is the other big one, but they seem to not care. Smaller subs seem fine too
