Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

inbeesee@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

I recently migrated here. I did so as a precaution, and sometimes browse reddit still. Reddit IPO’ed, and is now focused on making money. They removed the API to centralize it’s power and remove 3rd party apps. They threatened subreddits who protested, and shut some down. And have made sweeping changes to accommodate to advertisers. The straw that broke the snoo’s back was the CEO hinting at subreddit paywalls. I figured I would try to learn Lemmy again, and what do you know, it’s more serious, has better comments and posts, segmented even more than reddit with the distros, and fully free/open source. It also helps that I’m a huge computer nerd, and there’s a lot of that on here, but you can find your niche.
