Honestly I had some really bad experiences here on Lemmy. I
So bad, that in fact I contemplated going back to Reddit because it didn’t feel much different. I surely went from recommending my friends to delete Reddit to towards more of a “just quit Reddit altogether but there’s no good alternative”
Lemmy has some of the most tiresome people, like a completely humorless version of the most circlejerk parts of reddit. Why am I here then. Because how are we ever gonna have a reddit alternative if we don’t have at least a few normal people.
good thing about lemmy is that if you have bad experience, you can effectively ignore it and still find some good elsewhere. On reddit the shit is so ingrained everywhere you cant really escape it. I also had bad experience with .ml instance that I never had with reddit. But all the good experiences I have had dont even compare to reddit.
Also knowing that some rich piece of shit cant manipulate anything here on fundamental level makes lemmy feel clean.
Moderators on Lemmy aren’t better than Reddit. On anything news or politics, many act like political commissars and will delete everything that doesn’t fit their agenda, regardless what the rules say. That includes lemmy.world, the biggest instance. See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for examples. However you can find it out yourself by talking about something even slightly controversial.

That’s how I see it, almost exactly. I’m hated here but I stay because I feel a sense of responsibility.
Kind of agree, I guess that’s why I’m also here haha

At least the moderation is very limited
Depends, trust me, especially regarding politics.
