My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

      Yes, but it’s also the nature of how those platforms work. It would be hard to get new subscribers without popular and active posts. If mods of small communities are removing posts and comments from people that diverge from the main opinion there, growth will be difficult.

      It is something I try to keep in mind before commenting on a random thing I see when browsing all communities instead of just what I’m subscribed to. Check the community before making a comment, to make sure I’m not insulting fans of something I don’t like.
