        Agree i got banned on reddit and have create new account every once in a while then had to fight shadow ban , I wouldn’t think twice before switching but most communities that I follow specially local once are basically non existent only the super popular or some niches with technically sound user base were able to shift rest all stayed at reddit

          I was a terminal redditors for over a decade and that last year or two I was getting site-wide bans at an accelerating rate. I’m off there to avoid a permaban and I’ll only post there if I need a question answered no other way.

          I’ve been on Lemmy for 19 days so far and feel like it scratches whatever pseudo-social itch Reddit scratched before; even though the communities aren’t as niche, the community and moderation isn’t so consistently obnoxious.

        It’s just inertia, nothing else.

        Make your own community, start posting, promote it, and people will cum.

            Dying only because people are giving up.

            It’s not easy to set up brave new worlds. It requires time, unfortunately.

            However, unless we invest in it, it’s never going to happen.
