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!
Welcome. As long as ur willing to put up with tankies and a strong left bias u should be fine.
I am very NOT left; I just started a Trump community. But it’s cool, I’m prepared for the hate. I appreciate the smaller vibes though, so I’m sticking around.
Thanks for helping shift lemmy more towards centre. Federation really does make free speach more likly to win out. Whats the community btw?
I mean. How do I put it nicely.
You’re supporting a man who said “all disabled people should just die”. I’m not saying Harris is great or you need to support her. But as a disabled person it’s shocking how people don’t care.
Anyone who is not an able-bodied straight white Christian male with money should be concerned about this user’s viewpoints.
I thought you were a socialist?
? I’ve never said that. My username references Barry Goldwater. Old-school republican, more of how libertarians r today tho.
How’s the murder hornet 100 challenge going?
is that a lemmy thing or reddit reference? I don’t do a lot of pop culture stuff sorry
You should check out Politics Unfiltered.
It’s a politics sub open to all types of political leanings and it’s under new management now because the previous mod was a tool.
k, i’ll check it out thank you
Definitely check that out if you can, I am the new mod that replaced the tool that ran it. And while I completely disagree with your stance and support for Trump, unlike the previous mod- I will welcome any discussion/debate provided you simply follows the new rules of the page!
