    Just officially moved over from Reddit and while Lemmy is a tad more complicated to learn. It’s nothing an hour couldn’t fix.

    This just was my personal tipping point and I hope others follow suit. I’m sad because I enjoyed the humorous content, individuals pets, and musical discussions. But after being told I need to watch what I upvote I couldn’t harbor the idea that free and open discussions are welcomed there.

      I got banned on Reddit for calling out Americans for their bullshit with tariffs and the whole 51st state schtick. Fuck them.

      Well, those things you live about Reddit have only been getting better on Lemmy as time goes on.

        afaict Lemmy stayed ‘pretty good’ after the last reddit migration, maybe this one will be enough to fuel a lot of the niche communities that I think are missing here.

          It’s happening. I mentioned in another thread that there’s a good severance community that helps me feel like I don’t need Reddit for a show for the first time.

        I’m hoping it grows, I know I’m seeing mixed reactions to it but I understand that it’s hard for people to come out of their comfort zones. I’m just happy that the engagement here isn’t full of bots lol.
