Majority: everybody uses reddit, so I'll join them

You can't guarantee better mods, those are volunteers/instance admins/staff of an instance admin and are people. There is nothing inherent to how Lemmy works that ensures that people tasked with moderating aren't power hungry or in some way a bit of a dick. There was to my understanding, a certain draw to Lemmy over Reddit in that the federated nature means the actions of some power hungry moderator on one instance won't leave you having no option but to accept their behaviour because you can just migrate to another instance to see and interact with the same content or even spin up your own instance, but that doesn't make the mods themselves any different and that's all in theory anyway. In practice there isn't currently a way to migrate user accounts from one instance to another so if your account is of value to you and you've run afoul of some ban happy mod in one community on one instance, then you'll have to make a whole new account on another instance if you want to circumvent them and interact in that same community again from another instance and in such a case if its identifiably still you, or you want to engage in the original behaviour that incurred their wrath then they'll just ban you again from your new instance because a different protocol design doesn't mean different people.

What do you mean by "privacy" on the lemmy side? And aren't the mods mostly the same mods that were active onnreddit before?

Me over here just vibing by myself on my own self-hosted instance that I pay out of pocket for. I go find communities I like and subscribe to them, and it’s enough to keep me interested and engaged, without most of the bullshit Reddit has.

Reddit on pc and lemmy on the phone. Better content on reddit with discussions not always becoming an ad for linux

It's not a service issue, it's a people issue. Just wait and see Lemmy just turn up the same.

Well you got the no ads part right at least for now

Is there more privacy though? What you post is public and people can use the api/scrape it soo....

I got banned from world news for being pro Palestinians and the mods wouldn't even give me an answer as to why I got banned. Then when I kept asking I got a site wide ban for ""harassment"

Reddit still has niches that (unfortunately) exist nowhere else, probably won't exist anywhere else soon due to the need for foot traffic, and are tolerable as long as old.reddit.com stays up.

And it's the lesser evil over Discord.

Lemmy is of course 1000x better, but it doesn't matter if your niche there is a ghost town.

The mods are not better here.

Are the better mods in the room with us now?
