In theory as far as I can see Lemmy is heading for Reddit 2.0, which is way worse.
In my eyes, currently:
- Mods are abusing their powers, as usual.
- Lemmy. World is acting more like a company by day.
- Some instances block VPN and Tor.
- Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now.
- I guarantee that not a single instance will defend their users privacy.
So… That bring me to my question, Why would anyone who can use Reddit, use Lemmy instead?
I think you make GREAT points. I came here from Reddit, realized that it’s becoming reddit, but not as popular.
Now I am on reddit as much as I am on here. And way more productive information on Reddit since it’s so much better.
I just don’t see Lemmy growing very much, because it’s become a smaller Reddit. Especially .world. That instance is fucking toxic and full of tattletale babies that will legit follow you around if you disagree with them. lol
