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?

mods are abusing their powers

Seems like most of the mod actions taken about you are about off topic posts: https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?userId=16440635

How so?

VPN and tor

Some instances do, and you can choose to use them instead. That's the main pro of federation.

Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now

What issues do you face?

Users privacy

It's a public forum, so privacy has a limit. However, you can delete your account and posts. Also, Lemmy apps have much less permissions than the Reddit one.
