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?
Was it on !technogy@lemmy.world? Feel free to document the actions on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Alternatively, you can use !technology@lemmy.zip
Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.
A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.
I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities
Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
