        They do, but the difference is I can’t go to another reddit instance when they pull shit. It’s not flawless, but it certainly changes the power dynamics.

          I’m not 100% sure on this, but unless there’s an actual system for it, IP bans are also infeasible on Lemmy, right? Since only your home instance has your IP, you can just switch to a different instance, even if the admins try to ban your IP.

          And they don’t have ownership over a single community name as well. You can start a community with the same name on a different server

        I think the idea here is that if mods are bad on, say, memes@lemmy.ml, everyone can just leave and make memes@sh.itjust.works or wherever. There should be more competition here, at least in theory. Time will tell how well it actually works.

      You sub to a subreddit and gen banned on others that had nothing to do with it. Try talking anou how bad the vaccines are… Get banned. It does not matter if you are right or not, cant even have the conversation
