Depends on the dictator, depends on the democracy. Ideally neither, but democracies are usually less awful than dictatorships.

Why do some of the questions asked in this sub make it sound like the OP's first day as a human being?

Why do you dance around like this instead of just answering the question?

Democratic dictatorship of the proletariat

Lemmy is inherently democratic. If you don't like a muni, or an instance, you go to another one. Without centralization dictatorship is impossible.
That said, it's not democracy, either: It's a federation of interdependent polities, each with their own laws and administrators. Which is good, because it allows for rapid response to spam, inappropriate content, and verbal violence.
And if the admins or moderators overreach, well, back to the first paragraph: we've got open borders, go homestead your own community on another instance. You literally cannot be silenced here.

Democracy means that power is held by the people. It doesn't mean that if you don't like it you can leave.

It's called "voting with your feet". Being free to leave is power. Means a hell of a lot more than up- and down-doots.

In a democracy, the community determines policy. Votes are orthogonal. If the community leaves when they disagree, by definition everyone that is remains agrees with the policy, making it a democratic policy. The friction to changing instance is very minimal, so it's a good indicator of people's opinions.

You saw the whole paragraph where I talked about how lemmy is not a democracy, right? And literally cited this as one if the reasons why?
Like I get that you're probably responding to multiple subthreads right now, but it only takes a few seconds to scroll up.
