No, the issue with reddit is the lack of openness and chokehold spez has on it. Lemmy is free.
The main issue with reddit, as with every other large platform is the quality of the people using it. They are made worse by the platform itself, but the platform would not be able to be so bad, if the people were not predominantly trash.
People on here are hardly saints lol. I had several people wishing for my death as well as some guy following me around
I guarantee there are many bad people here, because... humans. It's all about percentages though I guess, at this point a lot of lemmy users wanted something different, something 'better', but at some point most lemmy users will just be here because everyone else is here, at which point the decent people will have found the next lemmy (this has already happened no doubt).
It's partially the platform, partially the moderators, partially the people using it
It's not good to be the king...
Free as in beans
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with beans. Who’s gonna do it? You? 🫘
Hexbear!
F*ck spez.
You put too much faith in the general public.
If someone wants to act in an unbecoming way, they have a right to provided it isn't breaking the law.
