    People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

      We can’t let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.

      Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

        I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.

        Welcome btw :)

        I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky

      I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.

        not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.

      Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

      Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.

        thier extremely sensitive banning parameters are absurd, cross-banning for posting in a sub that they dont like, reporting other people gets you banned,
