    Unlike the reddit, you can always make your own instance and host your own communities and nobody will ever ban you. That’s the whole point of being distributed.

      Same as subreddits. The problem is most communities are on .lm and .world, and already established.

        Again, the point is that nobody can ever stop you from running a community as you see fit, unlike reddit, which easily ban you and your community for any or no reason. And if your community is run well and the other has indeed power-trippin mods, the people will come to yours, as has happened multiple times before. So no, it’s not the same shithole, unless you make one.

          Not the same shithole, a more decentralized one.

          And if shitty moderation would mean people leave, reddit wouldn’t have any users. Alas…
