I assume many people migrated to Lemmy because they wanted a Reddit without spez.
Honestly, that's why I'm here. I do like the decentralized/non-corporate model though
I don't think you suck.
People left reddit because the reddit company sucks and they don't want to support it, not just spez.
But people still want to see a bunch of content. There's really no alternative to Reddit and Twitter because even if you can mimic their ideas, you won't be able to magically copy the user base and therefore the content generation. It took YEARS for those platforms to get to where they are.
Be the change you want to see, post more OC!
Reddit without astroturf, toxic redditor and farm bots.
I don't even care about that. I just can't use their app, it's garbage.
