I would argue that Lemmy.world has even more strict rules than reddit. At least it seems like that sometimes. Certain topics are just deleted.
I think Lemmy is decent for memes and entertainment but I dont think it can serve as a proper discussion site. The moderation wouldnt work. Unpaid moderators cant keep this place open for good discussions because it requires too much effort. But its good for memes. I like Lemmy in that way. Its positive and fun.
Probably transphobia tbh. That’s a hot button issue across Lemmy, as it should be.
The person you’re replying to might be conflating .world with .ml or one of the other authoritarian left instances. On those criticizing any world power other than the US is called out as racism.
Yeah I never seen anything crazy on .world except some mistakes and a few power tripping community mods but nowhere near what reddit is. Maybe OP is thinking of .ml which is an absolute shithole in every sense of the word.
Either way that’s the entire point of decentralization - you can just hop on a different server.

How is the moderation landscape any different on Lemmy vs Reddit? Aren’t Reddit moderators all unpaid too?
I think so, but people want to do it for a high profile site like reddit. Not so much for Lemmy.
I haven’t encountered this. Which topics?
