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?
Have you been to reddit, lately? Every sub is being populated by tons of bots representing their political agenda. So blatandly it’s scary and this not even in political subs.
Reddit feels like it’s been populated by people that used to mainly be on Twitter.
Lemmy feels like the early days of Reddit. When people actually still cared for the topics they were discussing and you had communities to discuss dedicated things.
TLDR: I don’t care if Lemmy is Reddit 2.0 as long as it feels like the old Reddit. Because Reddit has just become Twitter 2.0.
