I never do, in fact I'm really surprised that a forum that's supposedly all about privacy doesn't offer something as simple as hiding profiles.

Oh trust me, if you do look through mine (which I also don't see the point of) you won't find much, just me talking shit about android apps

If you just browse through your home feed, sure. But actively going out of your way to see someone's comment or post history because you don't agree with what they said is childish and frankly a bit concerning. It really shows your character.

I was permanently banned from Reddit for saying something about Robin Hobb's series Assassin Apprentice that it was gay and had a non-binary character, proceeding to say I'd never finish it because of that.

Or I've seen countless people get banned from Reddit saying to keep the kids out of the lgbt stuff.

I remember saying before I got banned that I didn't really agree with pride, mainly because international men's day is also in June and ever since pride was a thing, that's been glossed over. So I was upset about it and I remember I got a lot of hateful comments for even bringing it up.

Personal opinions, like my city's take on safe drug usage to lgbt stances that I don't agree with

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but it doesn't make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It's functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I'm upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let's be real: nobody's really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I'm going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I'll use them side by side.

It's kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I've been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it's "federated" doesn't mean you can't say whatever you want. It just means it's not owned by anyone in particular.
