Reddit was a lot more ban happy. And because it had, and still has, a lot more users, a higher quantity of those users are going to hold radical views. So, you'd say something, it would get down voted to oblivion, a bunch of people would report you, and you'd get banned.

Here, at least, they're mostly over on lemmygrad and don't have power over other instances. They come out of the woodwork, but they don't have the same silencing power they had on reddit. And this goes for both sides. "Conservative" subreddit marks almost every post as "flared users only". They don't ban you, they just don't let you speak.

It really does feel like this place is more moderate and it's very refreshing to see.
