 Welcome. I used to participate on Reddit a long time ago. What I didn't like was the downvote function that got increasingly abused by political activists.

I got kicked out from a subreddit I had been on for years for simply replying on a controversial thread and arguing for decentralization as a path forward.

At that point, there was just so many political activists that had overrun the place that it didn't seem a meaningful use of my time.

Here on Nostr we don't have downvotes and nobody can cancel you. People can mute you (block) although this doesn't prevent you from participating, you are just not visible to them. (Unless they click 'show message' on your note)

We are a happy bunch of liberty-addicts.
