..what are some of the things i can expect from this place?
I have become very tiresome with how those mods seems to be on some sort of power trip.
You're viewing a single thread.
Almost 90% of lemmy is ex-redittors.

In my experience, that's only on lemmy.ml and maybe one or two other instances. If you go there, just know the entire vibe there is (seemingly) "westerners bad, liberals bad, all hail communism cause capitalism is a western liberal ideal!" or some other variation of that whole backwards ideology.
There's a couple instances that have their heads so far up their own asses that they've become their own Adam's Apple, and those ones are usually just mods going on power trips because someone called them a bad name.
Ultimately this place is hardly different than reddit, aside from not being a corporate megastructure that will sell your post history to the highest bidder (but that might change, so stay vigilant). You'll learn what instances/subcommunities are worth seeing--and which ones are best avoided--in time.

That’s a phrase I never knew I needed!

Go on, we're listening.
I mean,that's all there is to say really. I know the fediverse is broken up into different, interconnected domains, but literally any one of them could be monetized by their domain owner. Obviously we would all just block that domain/move to another, but it's not an impossibility.
Mostly I'm just saying, "don't get complacent, they could always pull the rug from under us."
