        Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.

          I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.

          It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.

        It isn’t about being better trash, it’s about who controls the dump. I want to be able to view all trash in the way I choose. Not certain piles of trash that I’m forced view in a way that I can’t choose on my own.

          In over a decade on Reddit, I have gotten a full site-wide suspension exactly once, and have only ever been banned from subs like conservative and the_Donald. Meanwhile, I keep getting banned on Lemmy simply for disagreeing with tankies. This place has a lot of upsides, but right now it is worse than reddit for basically everything other than shitting on reddit.

            Perhaps right now, yeah. But it’s the framework of a better internet, one where you make your own. I have blocked people and communities, I haven’t had any interaction with tankies for ages.

        This place is pretty well just concentrated reddit at this point… I just stop by to remind my self how miserable reddit folks are.

        I haven’t been back to Reddit in months, and maybe Reddit’s gotten worse since then, but Lemmy’s far worse than Reddit was when I left it. I stay here because I like the idea of the Fediverse, but this community is absolute garbage.
