you get severely more punished on any community, or posts that are tankie, or /world politics. thats what i noticed, just the other day comment was removed a mod for rebuking a tankie comments, and saying how "harris: was not the sole cause of her own election loss.
Comment on we need more users

A) “Lemmy” is an embarrassingly bad name.
B) Most of the content I see on here seems to be shitposts. Not saying it all is, but the immediate impression for new users is terrible.
C) Lemmy’s biggest strength is also its biggest weakness. Moderation is near non-existent and the comment section of posts always devolves into shit.

C) Moderation varies wildly based on the instance, and the community. I wouldn’t say Lemmy comment sections are any worse than Reddits though.

Most people on Reddit avoid the larger subs like the plague though - but then when they come here, they don’t know what to avoid or even to pay attention to, e.g. is !Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net a lively and fun, exciting place, or a toxic cesspit hellhole?
And at least that one is honest about what it is, whereas lemmy.ml markets itself as a community dedicated to discussing FOSS! (Which, among other things, yes is one of the variety of things discussed there, although somehow that description seems to be missing a fair bit of information that would have REALLY helped out a ton in educating people what communities to participate in).

This doesn’t really seem to make sense to me.

funything i havnt have that much of interaction with the .ml tankie as much as hexbear, hexbear seemed to be mroe prominent, before i blocked the triad.

Except don’t forget that when people get IP-banned from Reddit (which also blocks people using proxies as of late) for being “too toxic” (even by Reddit’s standards!), they come here.
So there are some that have little choice.

If we defederate Hexbear and ml, that will go some of the way to easing those bad experiences for new users

ml is run by the devs of Lemmy so unfortunately that’s not realistic, you could be missing on a ton of information if you want to subscribe to Lemmy development or information related communities

reddits is more oppressive, mainly because your dealing with reddits AI moderation filter, which can apply blanket bannings, and the mods with thier individual sub filters, and the mods meddling too.

they’re definitely better than reddit’s in my experience
I would place them at a quality on par with reddit at the latest five years ago
you still get people who insist on not understanding what words mean, but less frequently
