I feel like there's a difference between various moderators power-tripping on their own little fiefdoms, and a site wide policy.
I think your experience highlights the main difference, the ability to leave an instance and disengage with authoritarian assholes without having to leave Lemmy. On reddit your only options are to leave or comply.
You can make your own alternatives, that's the difference. If you think the mods/admins of those comms/instances aren't doing well, then you could do better yourself. That's the freedom that the fediverse gives you. You could not do the same on Reddit.
Good point. The other important difference is that on Lemmy you can jump to a different server. Once you get banned on Reddit, that's it.
