I also find it interesting that lack of mod tools is a big complaint of reddit but it seems that lack of mod tools is immediately an issue on kbin/lemmy.
But the decisions made on one vs the other are moving in the opposite directions.
This is a new town, not a razed town.

tl;dr — fediverse will only improve from today, while Reddit will only decline.
I've used a third party app (Relay) for browsing Reddit for eight years now. It's what I'm used to, and interacting with the same content in a lesser format feels bad.
I've been using Kbin for eight days, and only know it from the mobile browser. Is it as pleasant to interact with as Relay was? No. But the difference is that it will only improve from here. My Reddit experience is primed only to get worse.
