The thing I hate about reddit is that your usage of the site is at the mercy of the admins. If one of them dislike you, you can get permanently banned and even ip banned. In Lemmy, unless you managed to piss off a lot of instance admins, you can't ever truely get banned. But if you do manage to piss of a lot of Lemmy Instance admins, then maybe there's a "you problem".
I mean, i generally don't see a problem with rules and moderator to make sure they won't be broken, but reddit sure was wild at times. I think, if you're just being yourself and use the social platform for something like, idk, being social, it won't come ti a ban.
tl:dr I agree with you on that point and i see the way lemmy handles this, as a good thing, as freedom of speech should be a given in social platforms
One of the other big problems is name squatting, a lot of the well named subs get traffic by default as a result of their names, not their quality, which makes them impossible to replace with better subs. And unfortunately, mods tends to get more power trippy as time goes on, which means that the quality of some of the subs has gone down significantly and there's not much you can do about it
