Not permabanned for unknown reason (i never posted or commented ever on reddit and got banned)
I get to see answer this question every month.
Well, I have not been banned from Lemmy for my anti-Nazi opinions.
Reddit banned my 10 year old account because they flagged it as a ban evasion account, stupid cunts.
I’m new to lemmy as a whole, So time will tell.
Ethics. Reddit has become subject to corporate greed so they can simply go bankrupt for all I care.
It’s nice not having a shitty corporation actively and visibly screwing me.
I’ve never really since I didn’t have any reason to, although I regularly use it as a knowledge base since Lemmy cannot compete on that regard.
I like the idea of the fediverse so I thought I’d come here.
Also surveilance capitalism sucks ass.
Physically. Good apps and lack of ads.
Spiritually. A sense of freedom.
There is just a lot less noice on Lemmy. Reddit feels like 1 legit post for every 100 shit post.
Conversation can happen in the comments on lemmy.
Lack of ads and ideological sympathies for FOSS is a huge part of why I came here but I stayed because the smaller size of lemmy allows for a feeling of community that reddit cannot achieve. I see and interact with users I recognize and know a decent deal of information about.
No ads, and generally more left-leaning.
Reddit’s culture is extremely toxic. Like, I actually left Reddit before Lemmy existed for that reason.
It can be toxic here too. I had my misadventure with a bunch of “experts” absolutely sure that the future is communism and “stupid you brainwashed fool” if you don’t get it.
Oh I remember that, lol. It was a bunch of people giving long, well thought out explanations of their position to you, and you responding by ignoring them and insulting them.
Communism is the logical progression of society. It isn’t a certainty, but the alternative in the long-run is disaster and barbarism.
Haha we’ll fucking do it again
My instance doesn’t sell what I write to train AI.
Of course, the AI sumbitches probably scrape Lemmy for content too like they scrape everything for content. But at least Lemmy doesn’t give them my content on a platter, nicely packaged up and ready to exploit and monetize. They have to do the scraping.
Eh, if they run their own ActivityPub server they can probably extract everything in a neat format.
Yeah but they have to set it up. It’s not sold to them ready to exploit - and crucially, Spez doesn’t get to make any money off my back.
lemmy doesn’t let the idf to moderate their communities and you can say things that run contrary to mainstream narratives.
