How is Lemmy better than Reddit? - eviltoast

I am a reddit refugee. Keep seeing that this is supposed to be somehow better than Reddit. As far as I can tell, it follows a similar format, less restrictive on posts being removed I suppose. But It looks like people still get down vote brigaded on some communities. So I’m curious, how it’s better?

    Personally, because I’m not banned for whatever reason a mod made up that day.

    It’s smaller for sure, but I’m sure it’ll grow. I think once there’s enough content here you’ll see it as a just a different Reddit.

        It’s pretty hard to get banned on all instances of Lemmy. Particularly, your own.

        Oh I’m sure I can be, but Reddit if goofy about it. I was permanently banned for “arguing” with a mod on r/ask the Donald after I… asked a question. They’re a sensitive bunch

            lol no, it was a few years back. I asked how an alpha male can whine so much. I know it’s against their rules technically because it was “anti trump” but it’s a legitimate question lol. They talk about being alpha males and those snowflake libs… but then vote for a guy that whines more than my spoiled brat nephew
