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
