Correct, though profit-seeking isn’t quite related to authoritarianism, so that is two reasons that the Threadiverse is vastly superior - and there are so very many more besides, including the 3rd party apps, readability, the more educated user base, really the list goes on and on, I am 100% with you on that point. Really the only things that Reddit has over the Threadiverse now is the larger user base allowing for more niche content, the notification sent about someone’s content being removed, and the modmail.
I do celebrate Lemmy’s existence, while also offering props to the devs for offering the code for free. And I think they are authoritarian, which I see visible in the manner in which certain things are handled in the code. Fortunately it is not the only implementation of the ActivityPub Protocol on the Threadiverse - there is PieFed, K/Mbin, nodeBB, and others on the way (flarum received a NLnet grant to federate it). Some (non-monetized) competition will do everyone some good here.
