Reddit had a lot of problems. Some of them were caused by having people as admins. Some were caused by having people as mods. Some were caused by having people as users.
Lemmy also has people as admins, mods, and users, so it will see many of the same problems.
Though Lemmy won’t necessarily turn into Reddit because it’s designed to have competition among the admins, so they are less likely to get a sense of “they don’t have a choice even if they don’t like what we’re doing”.
I’m looking forward to Lemmy growing and the freedom it provides. Being banned by rogue admins then to be unbanned then 3 months later being banned then unbanned, all with zero explanation was so irksome.

It still happens here, especially on .world.
