Given how monotonous Lemmy is with the same topics being posted ad nauseum, I can 100% see why the Reddit moderators would do this.

Lets be honest it's not like lemmy is any different, just on the other side of the fence. Probably even worse.

Let them come, and also fuck reddit. You're banned for a comment that was deleted, you can't see what you said to determine how it violated the rules. You get one message for an appeal. Do you feel lucky? Well do you...punk!
You get one message for an appeal.
They don't even read the appeals
They must not, I got banned for quoting eat the rich by Aerosmith and nothing with the appeal. Like that cannot be a bannable offence
I got banned because I made a joke about a dead pornstar in r/entertainment
They definitely don't read them, because I got banned for making a very obvious (ridiculous) joke and I explained that in my one measly appeal message that for sure went ignored.

And around here you can see any mod removals by clicking "source". It's like a big red flag saying, "Read this because the mod doesn't want you to!"
It’s much easier to just look at the mod logs then to sort through a bunch of code.
Just FYI

Some of those are understandable to be banned from Unpopular Opinion because they're actually quite popular opinions. 🤷🏻♂️

Maybe because he is a popular opinion /s
Unpopular Opinion: Reddit admins are doing a great job and I'm ever so sad I don't visit anymore.
Now that's an unpopular opinion

I don't see The Adjuster there 😏
Oh boy, time to breakout the non-ASCII look-a-like characters! Lol
Reddit unpopular opinion mods are bunch of cretins. They banned me for posting unpopular opinion 😂
r/unpopularopinion is for posting mostly popular opinions that some people nonetheless disagree with. Truly unpopular opinions, even well thought out ones, almost always get downvoted.

What did you post?
Green Mario Big Eater
Holiday?
How dare you!!!
Greta is allowed
But Luigi from hit video game mode Luigi's casino isn't.
Love Reddit free speech
Is this really so bad? I mean.. I get it. When you’re trying to moderate something with thousands of posts, and a ton start coming in that are low effort/bot posts saying things like “unpopular opinion: I support Luigi” or “unpopular opinion: I am glad Biden won’t be president” it makes sense. Those are just such constant topics with such a wide range of ideals. Whereas an unpopular opinion they might want to spur conversation would be “unpopular opinion: I don’t mind my socks being damp or wet” otherwise it’s just constant shitposts.
Plus, Reddit isn’t the (US) government. Your expectation of free speech should be null.
It's part of a larger trend of social media blackouts, this is bad because it lets the wealthy control our discource in the furtherance of their oligarchic aims.

When your policy is so bad your only defense of it is "technically we didn't violate your civil rights", maybe reconsider it.
Your rights as a person and citizen don’t magically extend everywhere. Otherwise you turn into a sovereign citizen. This weird obsession on Lemmy with this idea you should be able to say whatever you want online anywhere is fucking stupid and weird. A website is like another business or home (or even a newspaper… which at times has also pulled ideas they don’t agree with). You’re showing up to it. If you don’t like the rules in one place, go to another (or read a different paper). Or make your own.
Also, I love the irony of me making an unpopular opinion comment on a post about unpopular opinion.
What you miss is people aren't arguing from a constitutional perspective. They're saying that it's fucking ridiculous that sites like reddit censor perfectly legal speech while also billing themselves as bastions of free speech.
There is a certain logic to it. If you want to bill your site as a public square, then maybe you shouldn't censor anything other than speech that is actually illegal. It is not illegal to say things in support of Luigi Mangione. In fact, it's perfectly legal, and totally Constitutionally protected, for me to go right now and hold a big sign in front of NYPD headquarters saying, "Luigi Mangione is a saint, and I hope to see a hundred more like him!" The law restricts true threats, but those are defined way, way narrower than many on social media seem to think.
People aren't saying that reddit or other platforms can't censor content on their platform, they obviously can. But you also shouldn't bitch about people pointing out the rank hypocrisy of sites that bill themselves as public squares censoring content to serve their corporate overlords.

I don't think talking about current events in a shit posting sub rises to the level of "weird obsession".
If we’re talking about the Unpopular opinion subreddit (what the image is from). They also had President, presidency, Trump, and spez. They’re just big things that end up with a lot of garbage. A sub about unpopular opinions filled with the same “Donald Trump bad” becomes boring and annoying.
If we’re talking about the Lemmy Shitpost community then they specifically call out no derogatory language towards anyone’s Race, gender, or religion. Is that trampling your civil liberties?
