Unfortunately that doesn't happen, because EU put tariffs on Chinese EVs. And then they are complaing why EV adaption doesn't happen as quickly as they would like, lol.

Nah, mods from every political view do ban users randomly.

I guess because of server costs and stuff like that. I am sure Lemmy currently can't handle the amount users Reddit has. And without ads there is no income stream of money to handle the costs.

Not really, the UI and stuff like keyboard shortcuts are completely different (like the command key for example, wtf is this). When I switched to Linux, it was really intuitive. Stuff was in the places I expected them to be. Definitely not the case case with MAC OS. Had to constantly google how to do the most basic stuff. Linux really is easier to switch to than Mac OS if you come from Windows.

Did u have any significant experience in Software Engineering from like, private projects? Cos otherwise that's like winning the lottery, to exaggerate a bit lol

Would this really happen, tho? Also you could give a prompt to new users on this issue and tell them how they can subsequently block those accounts. Sure, there are always pros and cons to doing things, but in my experience the current approach where you give a select few people total control always results in total echochambers. Which I believe on the broader scale just reinforces the political divide of a society.

The solution is quite simple, really. Mods (or anyone else for that matter) should not be able to ban people. The concept of global banning shouldn't exist. If an account posts/comments stuff you like, then just block it on a personal level. Global banning (especially when the decision can only be done by the mods / a select few people) will always lead to echo chambers.
