Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of behavior is not exclusive to Reddit. Lemmy has its own share of power-trip mods in some communities. I thought (wrongly) that someone that took the effort of leaving Reddit and coming here would think differently than the average Reddit mod, but I guess the allure of demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is too irresistible for them.

Reddit has become unusable. I had an account there for 7 years and no problem. I tried checking out Reddit again this year and I got permanently banned within a day. You can’t say anything there anymore cause you’ll inevitably piss off a power hungry mod who will ban you for nothing. There’s no longer discussion to be had there.
I made a comment on the Gladiator 2 trailer, asking why Danzel is playing Micrinus, who was North African but of Roman blood and born in North Africa as a provincial. And pointed out how it’s similar to that Cleopatra documentary inaccurately thinking that all people born in Africa, even Egypt and North Africa were black.
I was banned for “racist commentary and bigotry”

Whaaaa. You mean the volunteer scabs appointed by Reddit admins to replace the “power tripping mods” (pissed off Redditors, 2023) are even more power tripping? I’m shock, I say! Shocked!
