For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

    Honestly tho it’s been downhill over there. I’m getting old reddit vibes here and I’m cool with never posting on reddit ever again.

      Reddit is still better for communities based around hobbies (at the moment at least) just due to it’s shear size.

        Look at the actual engagement on those hobby subreddits. Dont let the thousands of followers fool you. The big subreddits got bigger, but the smaller ones got smaller. I see niche groups with thousands of followers, but posts rarely break 100 upvotes/10 comments. Reddit is a hollowing shell right now.

        I saw a post about Kids In The Hall on this site the other day. Go see how popular that is on reddit. You just gotta believe.

        Agree, hate to admit I sometimes still go there (no login) to check certain communities because they are completely dead on Lemmy.

        Idk why ppl can’t just Google it get the info and leave.

        Not that complicated. No one is forcing you to join.
