Last night, I finally made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy. Honestly it was something I should have done a long time ago. I’d been hearing about Lemmy for a while, but I kept brushing it off because it seemed complicated or too niche or too techy. But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods, desperate upvote chasers, and a flood of obvious bots, I hit my breaking point. I actually ended up learning more about Lemmy from people venting on Reddit itself, which was kind of ironic!!
I set up an account here, took a last look around Reddit, and bailed. Reddit used to feel like a genuine community, but now it’s just a money-hungry platform, clearly trying to squeeze out every dollar as it spirals down. Lemmy might be new to me, but at least here, it feels like voices still matter. I know you guys already know this, but I want to throw it out there: You all are right!
While i dont supoort either puppet. We do need some trump idiots to balance this place out. Endless kamala shilling is tiring.
We had a guy try to run conservative sub it just got turned into him getting brigaded and abused. Not usre if thats still around.
But if people want to discuss their shiti politics in good faith, then fedi must be able to accommodate everyone if it is to become defacto internet front page.
Fuck reddit. Only decentralized social media makes sense since companies cant be trusted.
I did notice that the c/republican sub has no mod and that the c/conservative one seems to be filled with pro-democrats people who just downvote every post that’s not pro-dem lol i think there’s room for more voices. We’ll see.
More power to you, maybe some closeted conservatives will come out. Pretty sure the linux subs got them lol
Either way. There is room for everybody and dnc zealots chasing people is annoying.
Hope so.
