I'm not surprised. I'm on this site because I'm sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

Bruh, at least you just got banned "for" something. I got shadowbanned, and for seemingly no reason at all! I made some very neutral comments in fandom subreddits, and only when I looked at the pages logged out, I realized the comments were not showing up. I can only guess it was either my location, my custom domain email, or a combination of both.

What’s really fascinating is how many of the advice communities for certain sexual practices are run by bona fide rapists.

Reddit permabanned me. I pissed off too many mods, made too many new accounts, now I guess my ip is caught in their spam filter or something. Crazy thing, I never posted anything offensive. I could be posting about playing GTA and somebody I pissed off in another thread would report me for "advocating violence", which is an autoban basically.

Add to that the "your karma is too low" or "your post doesn't include xyz" shit and the site is becoming unusable.

If it's like that on lemmy.ca then why not go to a different Lemmy host or make your own. Both things that are not an option for Reddit

Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it's not nearly as bad or easily abused. Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.

The “wrong” is different here.

Same. Will never go back. Even the military subs are toxic now.
