In theory as far as I can see Lemmy is heading for Reddit 2.0, which is way worse.
In my eyes, currently:
- Mods are abusing their powers, as usual.
- Lemmy. World is acting more like a company by day.
- Some instances block VPN and Tor.
- Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now.
- I guarantee that not a single instance will defend their users privacy.
So… That bring me to my question, Why would anyone who can use Reddit, use Lemmy instead?
Did you dive in the removals to understand them? They were Tech news posted in the tech community and removed as off topic. Some of them are even posted by other users using different sources.
Are you seriously asking?
What happens when most instances choose to implement this?
Try to use any small instance and try to find communities outside Lemmy. World.
So, it’s accepted in your eyes to have a limited privacy here?

Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.
A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.
I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities
Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
