One issue with Reddit was the extreme even obsesive moderation level. It was totally frustrating to post stuff in some subs, lot of new people just avoid it even experienced users like me.

On the other hand… there’s a lot of Lemmy threads with flame wars that should really be pruned from the post by mods. The flame wars bring a lot of negativity and noise that takes away from the actual discussion

Yes in most circumstances. It's valuable to let people speak, but not for like 5 comments back and forth.

Why not? After a point, the discussion gets buried under "click here for more."

Not once did I ever get a post in r/showerthoughts past the mods. I eventually stopped trying

I got a bunch of posts removed there too, but tbh I kinda get it. 99% have the same repetitive showerthoughts and the whole sub was by design, super low effort, meaning the garbage : quality content ratio was like 500:1 so they had to rely on brutish rules
