People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

We can't let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.

Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here

I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I'm kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I'm biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I've actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I'm considering.
Welcome btw :)

tried to make an FB acct for somehting else, and they apparently autoban people for a "email-temp"

I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.
-
not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.

Lemmy still have mods. My comment regarding muskrat mental healt issues ("next step is suicide, please") was deleted. So don't fool yourself, when lemmy gets as much popularity as reddit, it will turn into the same kind of pos

The point is that you can move elsewhere without losing access. There is no central control

Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.
-
thier extremely sensitive banning parameters are absurd, cross-banning for posting in a sub that they dont like, reporting other people gets you banned,
