What does Lemmy have that Reddit wishes it could have?

It's why I signed up

That when you block someone, their comment vanishes from your sight. It is like they don't even exist. That's how blocking should be done. It isn't like where on Reddit, you still have the option to click an icon next to their name and see what they've said that got you to block them. Why the hell is that a thing? Why should we care? If we want them blocked, we don't want to see them ever again, including the ability to re-read what they've said.
The ability to post things on a new account.

Human content.
even if 90% of reddit is bot content theyd still have more human content than here
-
Digg is still up too.
They tried making a modrrn reddit clone, dropped it one week into release and swapped to an ai feed thing

A nice and human scale userbase.
I did help mod a community on Reddit. Daily, so many reports it took a team of us to manage them. I was on there for about 15 years, it's not a recent problem.
I single handedly (so far) mod a community here. 2.5 years, two reports total. What a joy.

Piefed has the ability to move posts. You can move your post if you decide you made a mistake, or the mods can move a post they've decided is off-topic. A request for tech support could be moved from a conversation community to a support community where it belongs, without forcing the user to resubmit.
If you mess up and say something stupid, there's a button you can press that says "I changed my mind about this comment". The comment remains visible, but everyone sees a disclaimer that you no longer believe what you said, and they can't reply. No more replies telling you the same thing, and you don't look like a sneaky coward. Other people get to learn from your mistake.
You can follow microblogs from Piefed. I'm following George Takie, I can see his toots from My Piefed account.
You can set your pronouns and they'll appear next to your name on most communities. Species too, if you're otherkin.
There's a list of new communities and a separate list of active communities in the homepage sidebar. Communities are also organised into topics, so you can find new communities to join more easily.
toots becomes a worse name for posts the more I hear it

Here are a few:
- Allowing to hide karma visible to the user.
- Good content.
- The blocking system (Reddit's way of blocking is used to piss people off).
- Genuine debates (as far as that is possible).
- Not being immediately banned from the entire site when an AI decides you did something wrong (I can't back this up but I firmly believe Reddit uses AI to moderate their entire site).
If it's like I remember - you can choose to use rules & tools to mod on Reddit, you don't have to, but I am not exaggerating, there were hundreds of reports per day on the normalnudes one I helped with, and hundreds of guys a week who ignored the "no isolated erection shots" and had their posts removed, also so many women advertising, both of which were disallowed on that thread- I would not be surprised or annoyed if they got a tool to recognize those.
Also it was a don't offer critique unless it's asked for place, otherwise if you can't say something nice say nothing, so comments got legitimately reported all day too.
It's hard to imagine the scale of the bad actors on that site, it's a constant flood being held back.

morals. Ethics. Basic human decency...

15 years gone for me. I was banned from a subreddit and they claimed I created another user name and tried to access subreddit. I only have one user name… wouldn’t over turn it
If you use a VPN it could be that, I hear they're banning for that
