I joined because Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and toxic behaviour. Lemmy is still completely open-sourced, while Reddit isn’t at all now. Also, when you first sign up on Reddit currently, you get completely ignored now and can’t post or comment on regular subs.

    All other social media sucked and were bad. Reddit wasn’t that bad and I had my subs that where fun. Then reddit blew up and so many people started flooding with their agenda. Specially once Elmo bought out twitter. So called “twitter refugees” came over and turned it into twitter wanna be. This got bot farms active and now every second post if not every big post you see is just a bot post with a very clear agenda. And now you can’t even look at their profile histories anymore.

    When I heard of Lemmy I was, hmm ok maybe it’s good. And to be honest, it feels like old school reddit, which is awesome. Yes, you get less interactions, but they are more meaningfull than the ones on reddit.
