why are left leaning groups still using reddit?
(linux.community)
the most egregious example I can think of is antiwork in reddit. Posters there love to rant against companies, but they also give good advice regarding laws in different states and is a good source to deal with micromanagers and toxic workplaces.
But it's like they simply don't think that reddit is making money with every post they write. It's like they're working for the enemy they so much despise, a large corporation.
It baffles me that people keep posting there. Is the fediverse alternative really that bad?
Asking this is like asking people that don’t like increasing food prices, why do they still go to the grocery store. I think they’re using Reddit because they want to. And if they want to, let them.
And to some, yes- the fediverse is that bad. The far-left socialist leaning communities that block/ban everyone with a reasonable argument against their core belief is an absolute deterrent to lemmy, flies in the face of what Lemmy is all about, and are a BIG reason a lot of people, including myself have chosen to return to Reddit.
Now, you could say that Reddit is just as bad, and you’d be right, but if it’s just as bad but with FAR more content and interaction….
It’s a no brainer.
Also:
Antiwork is a cringe sub full of people that share fake memes and whine about a lot of things while doing nothing about it. It’s a wind-tunnel. Nothing more. You don’t want that shit here.
