        For all its flaws, on Lemmy there is at least the option of picking a different instance if you don’t like the way your current one is managed. I also like that karma isn’t a thing here because in my opinion it is one of the main reasons Reddit is such an echo chamber.

          This.

          Spoiler

          I do not miss those low effort, repetitive, highly upvoted content. People there cannot just upvote and move on, they have to post some wasteful content and whereas it was one downvoted into oblivion, that changed long long ago. I have an ancient Reddit account and over a decade ago, the place became unrecognizable from those early days of people just want to share and talked about cool shit.

          Almost all parts of Lemmy are too radical, and it has become a tool for further radicalisation by external forces.

          We have API access and no spez, so that’s still better than reddit in my book.

            Too radical for you is what you mean.

            has become a tool for further radicalisation by external forces.

              Extremism is brain rot. It has nothing to do with me.

              It’s the same mechanics that make people join cults. It’s what got people to follow trump.

              Divide and conquer. Youre being played by the same guys that play magas, and you’re supposed to turn violent.

              I doubt admins will ever release some, since theyre ml enthusiasts.

              They love whats happening here and support it.

              I saw it happening on reddit almost 10 years ago, people laughed at me. Now I see it here and people laugh at me.

                  Do you deny this is what we see on Lemmy?

                  Do you deny that admins are Supporting dictators? (Hint, just Look at their public profiles)

                  Lemmy is easy game, you need less than 100 accounts to dictate discourse, and if admins close their eyes, they can roam free.

                    this is posturing and conjecture.

                    what do you think support means?
