I was so happy to find an alternative in lemmy. Didn't know about it until I made the decision or rather reddit forced my hand and search for something similar.

I was hesitant but im getting the hang of it now. Lemmy is everything reddit used to be. No spam accounts for OF coming up or stupid bots telling you that you have made a slight error, post something not to their vauge and ever changing specifications, it gets deleted and you can't argue it because the mods dgaf.

I feel happy here and my protest will remain because I know Aaron wouldn't stand for this shit.

Lemmy and reddit are natural products of peoples need to share and exchange knowledge, you can't hold a capital on that...

Its too soon to call a victory, we won't see any real problems until a few months have past.

Lemmy and is now activated by my shortcut key for quick access.

When we start getting the OF spam accounts is when you know Lemmy has made it

Same! Lemmy definitely feels like early Reddit. Before the mods were gods and before shills and spam and porn were the norm.
