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!
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!
Thank you!
You’re totally welcome friend!
