Power mods are one of the main problems with reddit. The same thing is already happening with Lemmy.

This is concerning because it allows for control of what becomes popular content.

    I’ve been permanently banned from the League of Legends subreddit for saying a team that had caught Covid wouldn’t die because they’re young and vaccinated. In a post about them having caught Covid. And in response to someone calling it a fatal disease (which it can be for some, but really isn’t if you’re 20, vaccinated, and otherwise healthy).

      Though dying may be lower risk for them people could still feel long standing effects from it. Though those are also less likely given they were vaccinated.

      Statistics can be a bitch.

        I looked up my exact quote, which isn’t perfect, but a permanent ban seems kind of crazy.

        It’s not really lethal if you’re vaccinated, especially if you’re young.

        I wouldn’t downplay long Covid. And if I had to do it again, I’d change some things. But saying that once in an appropriate thread seems pretty innocuous to me.
