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?

    Well, that would require lemmy users promoting the use of lemmy to reddit users, so that many of them learn that lemmy exists to begin with. Most lemmy users avoid reddit like the plague.

    Perhaps you see part of the problem now.

      I have tried it, but I was usually laughed at for it, so I stopped. They see this place as an experiment, a toy, not a real alternative, that some of us just want to give a ride around the block and will eventually go back to reddit.
