I never used reddit as much as I do the Threadyverse, but I get the feeling that here the mods are much quicker to dele my comments. But this might really be related with how little I used reddit.
When it comes to content, it seems more positive.

MODERATORS
Always check the modlog if you're unsure.
Disclaimer: I always viewed limited subreddits that fed my interests, and my Home feed. I never looked at All, because it never seemed to have things I'm interested in. That probably influences how I perceived Reddit.
Reddit:
- Way more niche topics. It was quite possible to find people who shared the same narrow interests as you. On Lemmy, having conversations about these things is hard.
- Towards the end, there was a much greater tendency for top comments to be a joke/quip/insider joke as opposed to actual thoughtful discussion.
- It felt like there was a much greater tolerance of nuance and complexity, though this was also showing cracks towards the end.
Lemmy:
- Politics definitely swing a bit more towards the left. In some cases this means "people just talk about corporations doing bad stuff more", and in some cases it can mean some pretty out-there positions, like people fanboying for China or terrorists.
- It's much, much harder for me to find activity on topics I'm interested in. If you're outside of Lemmy's handful of interests, not just finding but even building topical discussion feels like a struggle.
- Not everyone, but I do feel like I come across more people here who feel... allergic to nuance. Frankly, I think this might be less of a Reddit-vs-Lemmy thing and more of how just social media in general is shifting these days.

I'll take a qed here...dogpiling on lemmy is an addiction, and there's a fair degree of 'stalking'.
Both are tiring.
If a post or comment gets to '-1', there is virtually no recovery. Stalking simplifies this endeavour.
There's not as many comments. That's pretty much the only difference between Lemmy and Reddit
Sure but how many of those comments aren't just a pile of shit that no one reads cause they didn't get in fast enough?
We filtered out the shit and kept the hatred and toxicity! Yay!
Like heaven
