    why reddit is better:

    • reddit has polls (even if it’s only up to 6 choices, and <8 days)

    • reddit currently has more users, and thus more people to interact with

    • I kinda like karma pints.

    • my pro-Green Party/Jill Stein posts aren’t visible to most redittors, and thus aren’t as much downvoted, if at all

    • I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo

    why Lemmy is better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • It’s federated.

    • as one respondent already said ITT: more cozy

    • my Vimeo, niconico, Archive, Wikicommons, and the very rare PeerTube posts look no worse than my YouTube posts—though with most posts, one can’t see as many thumbnails.

    why Miraheze is better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo, Archive, niconico, Wikicommons, and Miraheze Commons (on a few of the wikis at least)

    • Files in Wikicommons can be transcluded.

    • I like the wiki format (at least their and WMF wiki formats) best.

    why WMF projects are better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • Wikipedia is one of the most visited website on the internet; I enjoy categorizing files on Wikicommons; I like the structures of Wikiversity’s wikidebates.

    I’m also thinking of posting in RationalWiki next year.
