So many people already listed so many things Reddit wishes they could have so i'm going to say what they wish they don't have, a corporate boot on their throats and a dumbass CEO.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Me.
Human content.
Here are a few:
- Allowing to hide karma visible to the user.
- Good content.
- The blocking system (Reddit's way of blocking is used to piss people off).
- Genuine debates (as far as that is possible).
- Not being immediately banned from the entire site when an AI decides you did something wrong (I can't back this up but I firmly believe Reddit uses AI to moderate their entire site).
they definitely use ai for moderation, the reaction is often instant, and the reaction is often a mistake even a dumb human mod wouldn’t make
Lack of karma. It was a stupid idea that encouraged spam.
IIRC Digg had the equivalent before with the famous powerusers.
LOL Digg, havent thought about that dumpster fire in over a decade. Wow did they F up... Same w/ Fark, there would be no reddit if either site had some brains.
fark still seemed to be up though.. not sure how active it is
Reddit as a company doesn't want anything the fediverse has because that would impact their cash flow.
Me 🥰 also: my data 😝
Its still probably getting scraped
Only what's publicly visible. Not my location, not when I log in, not the devices I use. My comments, when they got posted, upvotes and DMs afaik.
Up AND downvotes visible instead of just the net sum.
Some Lemmy instances hide the down arrow and replace it with a stupid emoji.
does lemmy have this? i’ve only seen net-sum here
Fewer dumb kids.
Kids and Teens online is such a wormy issue. They'll be everywhere, lying about their ages, lying about who they really are .etc They're just problematic little liars at every turn, fucking things up for the rest of us, because their parents are stupid and garbage at handling them.
We wouldn't have an issue with social media, with IDs, with chat room or even Discord servers if it weren't for them. Fuck them, they don't belong online. The internet should be for 18+ users. It's clearly evident that teenagers and children in general, cannot handle anything online. And the only reason they sortof can now, is because of the lengths the laws and egregious moderation that consists of the sanitization of online content have gone to 'protect' them.
Less bots
Public modlog
better post sorting
better search
actual commies (thank god no "I'm leftist but")
Drama.
