I joined because Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and toxic behaviour. Lemmy is still completely open-sourced, while Reddit isn’t at all now. Also, when you first sign up on Reddit currently, you get completely ignored now and can’t post or comment on regular subs.
Got banned for expressing compassion for Palestinians. I suspect they’re using AI to moderate and it’s making mistakes, as it is everywhere else. Also they only want bots over there now. Humans just cause problems. I’m pleasantly surprised to find the average IQ over here to be significantly higher. You guys are better company.
