On Lemmy, or Mbin, or PieFed, or in Mastodon, or PeerTube, or Loops, I presume Friendica, etc., basically any open source federated software product I mean, you can make you own server, create your own sub/community/magazine/whatever-it-is-called, and invite people to post in it, or just post yourself, and nobody can stop you. They can defederate from you, thereby refusing to offer your content a platform on their own machines, but they can’t tell you what to do on your own machine that you pay for and administer.
Arguably using Reddit is giving consent to them doing this stuff. We could not stop them, hence we came here to be free of it, and now we are:-). But anyone who continues to use Reddit continues to offer consent for Reddit to keep doing this stuff, if they want to.
