Reddit is (was) a social network with tens of thousands of communities and only ONE instance. That makes it easy for a small number of arrogant, greedy billionaires to ruin things for everyone.
Lemmy doesn't make that mistake. By being decentralized, it prevents exactly that sort of thing from happening.
It's not impossible to ruin, just a lot harder.
