I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉
You don’t even need to stay in one or the other. These last few days I’ve been using Lemmy in general and reddit for specific things. Many people do want to leave but even if you’re familiar with lemmy that doesn’t mean you’ll want to “leave” reddit. It’s not a place, after all, and you can have them both open at the same time or use them interchangeably depending on the situation.
