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?
Lemmy has flaws, but Reddit is a fucking cesspool.
There’s not going to be a replacement for what Reddit used to be. The world is shittier now, that’s just gone. The right way to think of it is that the replacement for Reddit is a combination of Lemmy (or another preferred option) and being less online, being less attached to any one site.
