Places like Reddit or Twitter become progressively worse as they get more popular.
Besides, Mastodon is not a replacement of Twitter. It has the same UI and look&feel but it’s very different. Twitter is basically a place where internet celebrities post and other people comment and share. Mastodon is more like regular chaps hanging out and exchanging opinions.
The fact that all VOTES and comments are public is a big deal when it comes to keeping out bad actors, spammers, trolls, and power tripping mods. There was so much mod abuse on reddit and much of it will not be possible here, because we can easily see when people are using alts to game the system.
I hope not.

That could be different. Lemmy is not corporate owned.

Wait, you can see WHO votes for things?!
If you are the admin of an instance you can see upvotes and downvotes of all federated lemmy instances, apparently.
Oh, interesting! That’s good to know, thanks for sharing.
Just because something’s not corporate owned doesn’t mean bad actors can come onto this platform. I’ve seen some unsavory people here already.
