I'm here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That's frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

There's about 20 monumental assholes here that are responsible for almost all of the squabbling and drama.
Use the BLOCK function liberally, every time you find someone who's just a complete asshat, block them.
Eventually you'll catch the big fish and life will get easier around here and you won't have these morons to deal with.
I’ve encountered a few. Not getting involved, but I’ve seen a few of what you’re describing.
My rule is that it's not my job to make idiots not be idiots, and it's not my job to correct people who could already gather the correct information, but choose to not do that.
Someone wants to be an obnoxious asshole? Great, they can just shout into the endless void, because I'm blocking.
seconded, every now and then the way I notice I'm not logged in is that there's suddenly a load of absolute dogshit on my feed.
You don't owe anyone a second chance if they post something dumb, it's your feed, block block block. No need to announce it or have any great ceremony, just block and move on.
Thank you, I used to wrestle with the idea. Then I kind of realized it comes down to one question in my mind: does this person contribute to my online life or detract? If it's detract, goodbye.
