You mainly seem concerned with moderation, so I’ll try to focus on just what’s relevant to you
In short, things are more “split up” here, in that there’s a lot of smaller moderation teams, and lots of instances with different admins. Reddit has site-wide moderation which applies to all of Reddit, but here a single “final say” team to speak for all instances doesn’t exist, and can never exist
So, if you have a problem with admins of a particular instance (ie, lemmy.world ), there’s nothing stopping you from making a new account on another instance (such as the one I’m on, thelemmy.club , if approved) and going back to the same content you were looking at before. lemmy.world wouldn’t be able to lock you out of an account hosted on thelemmy.club , as these are completely independent servers which can just access and interact with the content on the other
If you have a problem with any specific community’s moderation, for popular topics there are often duplicates hosted on different servers with different moderation teams. I think I’m already subscribed to 3-4 different communities just for “technology” because people kept making the same topic on different instances
So mainly it’s important to look for an instance with rules and admins that align with you and then you’ll be fine (currently, you have lemmy.world’s tos to follow)
