If you're still on Lemmy...

You left Reddit because you wanted to tell a message

I left because I was banned site wide cause of an unpopular opinion in a gaming subreddit

We are not the same

I ditched Reddit because the writing's on the wall for them becoming a complete hellscape with their ramping up of censorship recently, and I jumped ship before that Titanic of a platform sinks.

So what’s the alternative to Lemmy? IRC? It seems like every social media platform has problems.

There are many communities still on reddit for which there are no alternatives on lemmy as of yet and if you want it to surpass reddit you need to stop with the toxic attitude and the false sense of superiority especially since a lot of the content on this platform is just reposts from 4chan, x, reddit. If curious folk come here and all they see is toxic threads and reposts why would they stay here? This is mostly in response to the comments I've seen on here not the thread itself.

Wait, what's wrong with Lemmy?

Just deleted my reddit and joined Lemmy. Do I have to quit already?

Its true. I have friends still using it and they can't seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.

Neither of these are true lol. Someone has to tell the right wingers they deserve the death penalty for treason.

Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn't "break the rules" it's worthless trying to have honest discussions.

It's me, I'm the problem... (Sorry I'm old and couldn't help it)

The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don't really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going "Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!" and anime fans going "Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!" on Bluesky.

Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.
