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?

    I like the choose your own adventure element. If you want strong content moderation you can go to Beehaw; if you want something more catch all, Lemmy.world is good; if you’re a Stalinist, you have at least three solid options.

    The instances talk to each other, but many fulfill slightly different functions.

    At Reddit, it seems the stupidest posts often get thousands of upvotes. Here, they’re lucky if they get 50. So that makes me feel less crazy, I guess.

      if you’re a Stalinist, you have at least three solid options.

      And what options are those?

        • Lemmygrad: classic crowd longing for the Soviet Union
        • Lemmy.ml: The catch-all version of Lemmygrad, like Lemmy.world except criticizing Putin or Xi can get you banned
        • Hexbear: Like Lemmygrad, but for memes and shitposting

            Thank god we have gotten to a point where it’s possible to hang around here without being immediately aware of the Stalinists haha
