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?
A Lemmy admin banning you only prevents you from interacting with communities on their instance.
Only the admins of your home instance can completely ban your account.
Power tripping admins get usually reported on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
And then what? You are treating the symptom not the disease. If we don’t have a direct built-in solution, then a single community to talk about power tripping mods won’t matter.
And then people leave the community managed by the power tripping mods for another one: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663?scrollToComments=true
That wouldn’t be possible on Reddit, those kind of posts would get removed
