MODERATORS
I would like everyone who came over in the reddit migration to move back to reddit, as they clearly like it more over there than over here. I would like them to stop trying to force Lemmy into being something that it's not.
Didn't Lemmy have almost no content before the reddit migration?
If the Reddit fiasco didn't happen I would have never even looked into Lemmy. I would imagine at least half, if not the majority, of Lemmy users joined around the same time.
I haven't looked at Reddit since then, and I most definitely feel like Lemmy is much better than Reddit. I think you are focusing too much on the few Reddit immigrants that complain, and you interact with many of us that don't complain, more often than not.
Some instances had a good amount of activity, especially if the had a non-reddit community before the major reddit exodus. Reddit brought far more right-leaning individuals.
Definitely not going to argue with you there. I switched here to get away from that exact thing, and because I felt much more at home on Lemmy with people like you in the comments(I see you in the comments all of the time <3).
I was sick of seeing brain dead right wing and lib talking points being upvoted to the top of every thread. So it doesn't surprise me that a lot of the Reddit immigrants are more right leaning.
Still, I am proof that at least some of us left Reddit because we found a home here surrounded by more left-leaning people. I find myself agreeing with a lot more people here than I ever did on Reddit.
Aww, thanks!
I came then as well, I was more referring to the average. Still, thanks for sharing!
