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?
Smaller communities, feel like the reddit of early 2010’s
No ads, no IA training, no monetization of my user data
Prefer alternative solution
Usable mobile app
Reddit (and other prorprietary social media) is (are) great for the ever-lasting feed of new content, but something smaller is great too
