Is it? There are plenty of subreddits who have taken downvotes out of their community. Badly, but they have. /r/CanadaPolitics will outright ban you if you ever admit to downvoting something in the community.
The removal of downvotes alone is not remotely sufficient evidence of being “quite different” from Reddit in that regard. Honestly it just reminds me of /r/Conservative and their flair system too. I don’t understand why downvotes are being banished.
Reddit basically removed downvotes as well since the EA comment. You still had the button, but it was inable to change the trend of the first few minutes.
There are a few news related subs on .world with shitty moderators, the rest of the instance is as chill as anywhere else. If you see .world mentioned here, it is probably the News community.
Every time I dig deep there’s something unreconcialable I find in usually the community or the admins’ unfair moderation practices. Or it’s really small and weird and I don’t understand what it’s about.
.world is cringe and corporate feeling, like reddit, but the admins are more consistent than the smaller communities I’ve tried.
Also just want to mention you can export your subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts/comments as a JSON file from your account settings page, and then import that file at your new instance in the same spot!
Please update here if you find one! The draw of lemmy (and fediverse in general) should be that if something like this happens we aren’t beholden to the instance and can switch, but unfortunately I share your experience with other instances 😔
.world sucks ass, it’s a reddit clone
Lol says the “reddthat” user. Actually it’s a good instance name, but the irony …
Reddthat disables downvotes, so quite different from Reddit

Downvotes are still possible on Reddit, even if their impact is limited.
Reddthat doesn’t even have the button anymore
Which is a relatively minor mechanical difference.
Doesnt matter the instance. They’re all reddit like
Let’s agree to disagree! 😄
What a bunch of snowflakes.

I still regularly get downvoted on /r/RedditAlternatives, so it still seems to work

I wish i could find a better instance. :c
You can. This community is on a good instance.
…have you expended the slightest bit of effort to do that? Because there are plenty.
I’ve researched a few dozen.

Sopuli.xyz might be a good option.
They are a medium sized general purpose instance based in Finland with good admins, a consistently updated Lemmy, and fast speeds.
Also @shadowplayer2@lemmy.world and @HalifaxJones@lemmy.world
I’ll check it out, thanks
Any controversies I should know about?
None that I’m aware of :D
