New to Lemmy,

Which instances would everyone say is the least reddit powermody? (I'm sure none is the answer, but if you had to choose)

Probably lemmy.ml, the official instance.

I know they allow some instances that sole purpose is to hate on liberals, which is annoying to see so many aggressive political posts (any extremest is annoying), but they are easy to block yourself.

Beehaw is good, but they de-federate EVERYONE. I see posts from the admins there nearly daily talking about new instances they are de-federating from today. They also disabled down-voting, and community creation.

I think it's awesome that they are disabling downvoting. One of the worst things about reddit was that comments were downvoted and authors deleted their comments because of it. All because of sensitive snowflakes.

And as for defederation, they have 100% right to do what they want to protect their community. It's a community that is used to being disliked or hated. It's a very good thing that they can have their own popular instance on the web without being forced to moderate hateful posts.

Put it another way, should they be forced to moderate hateful posts so you and I can enjoy seeing their posts? I think we are fine without it, and specially knowing that they are happier this way.
