I’m curious about if those that decided to leave reddit and found a home here miss anything from reddit or like it here more.

    Well this is cheating because I’m still on Reddit, but honestly I have to say that I don’t find Lemmy lacking. Lemmy is very much like how Reddit used to be when it was good. Simple pages, straightforward delivery of content. Only thing Lemmy lacks is the massive user base, which has its pros and cons.

      I think the Fediverse as a whole is a lot more like the internet when it was good, lol.

        I think the primary reason is that Fediverse isn’t commercially driven. Much like the internet of old, it’s just a bunch of people running servers because they enjoy doing it. The motivation is very different from commercial social media where the goal is to monetize the users of the platform. Fediverse is the internet by the people for the people the way it was always meant to be.

      Honestly I find Reddit to be a somewhat toxic environment. I’ve encountered this mentality several times, and it’s really put me off Reddit. I’d probably delete it if I could bypass 2FA…

        Mind you, there are some good sub’s which don’t harbour negativity, like r/nosleep (one of my favourites!).
