You’re right. I know I’m being hypocritical, joining a platform for ideological reasons, then complaining when everyone else talks about ideology. People who join the fediverse are self-selecting.

But I actually joined Lemmy before I quit Reddit. I made an account on here during the Reddit APIcolypse of 2023, but only deleted my Reddit account that fall after realizing I was addicted to it. In some ways I was expecting a slower drip of content here on Lemmy compared to Reddit, but didn’t expect the quality to be so dubious. I’ve been telling myself I should probably make another Reddit account. I’ve been having issues at work that could probably be solved with a quick post on a relevant subreddit, but I’ve stubbornly refused to go crawling back to the social media I swore I’d rid myself of.
