Hey everyone, I’m new here and just testing the waters. I’ve been on Reddit for years, but lately it feels like a mix of heavy-handed moderation and echo chambers where any dissenting opinion gets buried.
For those of you who’ve spent real time on Lemmy: • What do you like better here than on Reddit? • What do you miss from Reddit? • Do you feel the culture here is genuinely different, or does it eventually drift the same way?
I’m curious how people see it — especially those who made the switch after the API drama.
If you’re not happy with communists, there are other instances like Lemmy.world.
You’re kind of proving my point right now, this comment and the downvotes above.
There’s a non-political memes comm on Lemmy.ml if you so choose. The fact is, the devs are communists, and a ton of us on Lemmy are communists due to the nature of FOSS, so that’s sort of a natural sorting.
Other instances, such as Lemmy.world, are also politically biased, but towards liberalism. All instances have their own biases, you can’t escape politics for good.
