What are the practical benefits of the fediverse? - eviltoast

I don’t fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what’s the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

    Exactly this. I left Xitter because the moderation became so bad that literal bigoted harassment of entire communities was left unchecked. What are my options? Stay or leave.

    I left reddit because the server became hostile to the ways that it was useful to me (third part app usage, corrupt moderation and administration, etc.). Again, the options were to stay or go.

    If any of those problems were to happen here on lemmy.world, I could migrate to another instance and still have access to the platform.
