I’m not enriching a pedophile neo-nazi
Free, no ads and custom clients. Tech Literate and Left user .
The people are less stupid. We weed out the people who don’t know how to use computers by implementing hard stuff like “choices”
An actually solid mobile client
Its not enshittified in various ways. Its just a news aggregate and discussion forum that functions.
Most of the posts on Lemmy are still made by humans instead of automatically reposting the top posts from 5 years ago forever.
The bots ran me off. I want to read human comments and converse with humans.
Caught a permaban for my, uh, spicy opinions on Russians. I rarely go back to look at something and every post has 10,000 bullshit replies.
If they hadn’t killed RiF client, I’d still be there.
I don’t prefer lemmy. I’m locked out of the only communities i actually enjoyed, because the mirrors here are dead beyond hope.
Lemmy didn’t force me to dox myself for “age verification”.
Nobody is making profit from my content or selling my data to advertisers.
Lemmy hasn’t been enshittified.
liked seeing tech stuff like linux and selfhosting, dont really see it anymore, starting to use it less and less
Not giving money or content to a shitty company is enough for me. Once I was here, I found out about the public modlog, the nature of the fediverse, and the love for Linux you people have. Also it feels kinda like, less karmawhoring content, because we don’t have karma here. I don’t know, this feels like it’s shaped by communities for real.
Unpopular opinion time: Virtually nothing. Lemmy is, from the end-user perspective, just another Reddit clone filled with the same idiots as Reddit, posting the exact same bullshit as is posted on Reddit.
The only reason I can tolerate this format of interaction has been to have a policy of blocking at least 1 imbecile per day. It actually helps, try it. Block me if you think I’m a loudmouth idiot.
People are slightly less stupid, which makes conversation not as frustrating. I also don’t get banned/suspended because a mod got uppity (and even if it happened, the solutions are easier!). I mean, it happened on .ml but I had to get at least one ban, lol.
Removed by mod
Perhaps the communities are not as fake because updoots cannot be farmed (either to sell the account or just so you can feel your existence validated, lol). And maybe monotheistrevolutionaries.lemmy.ml could exist? 😅
