Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
And then people leave the community managed by the power tripping mods for another one: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663?scrollToComments=true
That wouldn’t be possible on Reddit, those kind of posts would get removed
Did you dive in the removals to understand them? They were Tech news posted in the tech community and removed as off topic. Some of them are even posted by other users using different sources.
Was it on [email protected]? Feel free to document the actions on [email protected] . Alternatively, you can use [email protected]
Are you seriously asking?
Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.
What happens when most instances choose to implement this?
A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.
Try to use any small instance and try to find communities outside Lemmy. World.
I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities

So, it’s accepted in your eyes to have a limited privacy here?
Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
A Lemmy admin banning you only prevents you from interacting with communities on their instance.
Only the admins of your home instance can completely ban your account.

mods are abusing their powers
Seems like most of the mod actions taken about you are about off topic posts: https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?userId=16440635
LW
How so?
VPN and tor
Some instances do, and you can choose to use them instead. That’s the main pro of federation.
Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now
What issues do you face?
Users privacy
It’s a public forum, so privacy has a limit. However, you can delete your account and posts. Also, Lemmy apps have much less permissions than the Reddit one.
.world and .ee are the closest things to that
I wouldn’t put them in the same basket, LW is 3 times bigger than Lemm.ee : https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

52000 monthly active users (so vote, post or comment): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
You can always suggest it on the community of the app you are using
- use alts for different interests (e.g. one account for niche communities, one for memes, one for news)
- consider https://piefed.social/ as they have personal and public feeds (multireddits)
Sync hasn’t been updated for a long time, and will stop working with Lemmy 1.0, I would recommend to have a look at the 3 above when you have some time.
