A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

See I kept trying to tell people, cuz I was in that Century Club thing that you get from having me a certain amount of likes my comment or Good Karma or whatever.
And I told people that sub reddit bans need to be made 90 days of the longest, simply because the permanent bans were being blatantly abused.
I had many people agreeing with me
Seems like they doubled down
To be honest, Reddit is too liberal. And this is coming from a long time liberal voter. You can't say anything anymore. Everything is sensitive and inappropriate base on what's trendy. Freedom of speech means there should be of different voices. But reddit only wants certain voices. Apparently, the downvoting system is not enough. They have to go extra step to let a small group of individuals to decide, okay this guy will be forever banned from posting on Reddit. That's insane amount of power and influence. I now lost my voice on one of the most popular and engaging social media platform. Crazy huh.
Exactly, honestly, even though it's not as okay to say as it used to be, it almost felt liberating to see the word "retarded" used on a forum without that person being automatically banned.
