How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

I am a reddit refugee. Keep seeing that this is supposed to be somehow better than Reddit. As far as I can tell, it follows a similar format, less restrictive on posts being removed I suppose. But It looks like people still get down vote brigaded on some communities. So I'm curious, how it's better?

Personally, because I’m not banned for whatever reason a mod made up that day.

It’s smaller for sure, but I’m sure it’ll grow. I think once there’s enough content here you’ll see it as a just a different Reddit.

It’s still pretty easy to get banned on Lemmy. It’s still just human mods.

It's pretty hard to get banned on all instances of Lemmy. Particularly, your own.

Oh I’m sure I can be, but Reddit if goofy about it. I was permanently banned for “arguing” with a mod on r/ask the Donald after I… asked a question. They’re a sensitive bunch

Did you ask if people think Trump has been acting weird lately? Not an accusation, just asking a question.

lol no, it was a few years back. I asked how an alpha male can whine so much. I know it’s against their rules technically because it was “anti trump” but it’s a legitimate question lol. They talk about being alpha males and those snowflake libs… but then vote for a guy that whines more than my spoiled brat nephew
