The difference is probably that here if you disagree with admins, mods or power users you can just migrate your community to another instance.
Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn't as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn't monetized by ads.
Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they're just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they're just organically filling the void with posts.
