They do, but the difference is I can't go to another reddit instance when they pull shit. It's not flawless, but it certainly changes the power dynamics.

And they don't have ownership over a single community name as well. You can start a community with the same name on a different server

I'm not 100% sure on this, but unless there's an actual system for it, IP bans are also infeasible on Lemmy, right? Since only your home instance has your IP, you can just switch to a different instance, even if the admins try to ban your IP.
