Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content (feddit.org)

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

EDIT: I know there are upvotes and downvotes, but the problem with Reddit is you can't post in most communities if your karma or reputation is bad. This is a big problem because herd mentality prevails there and if ypu have unpopular opinions you're basically censored.

Lemmy isn't designed to milk ypur dopamine with notifications every 10 upvotes, so you focus more on posting valuable cont instead of farming for approval and upvotes.

Well, and also because I can express my hope that a piano fall on Spez's head.

And we're allowed to say Nazi's are bad

You just get the occasional weirdo from a weirdo instance arguing otherwise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah, and you can luckily just block their instance

It's comparing lemmy to Reddit, not to the twitter zombie

Sadly Reddit has been toeing the line and has been banning any accounts for "threatening violence" for any support of Luigi no matter how peaceful or non-violent or ANY criticism of Elon The Musky Husky

Heck even before my account was banned I was warned for "advocating violence" just for saying "It's understandable to wanna punch Nazis"

You can't ask a social network to support ideas that involve violence and murders. I know Luigi is a hero for many but it was an illegal action. You can think any monarchy is anacronyst nowadays, but you can't go and shoot any of those useless humans that think they can be called king or queen like we were living in mediaeval times

And remember that any insurance system is not that different from a national system, you can convert one into the other any time. The problem is with shitty brains which can go and spread their shitty ideas either here or there. Since national systems can be so corrupted, it's ok to have a private way to clean them up from time to time.

It's not that I want Reddit to support violence, it's that I want Reddit to support free speech

Let me suggest you don't become too attached to a mainstream digital tool

Also, smaller servers means that it's easier to spot criminal communities and boot their asses. Also individual servers can be cracked down on for hosting evil content, without all of Lemmy being destroyed.
