They fail on their promise of curbing the mods problem with a transparent modlog and active admins. It’s the same bunch of authoritarian kids as reddit and the power dynamics are unchanged, they make friends with each other and with the administrators and it’s exactly as hard to get one removed as it ever was on major lemmy instances
I prefer the federation where if a mod/admin’s bad you can just create a community with the same name on a different instance
