Mastodon : Twitter = Lemmy : Reddit (lemm.ee)

It is funny to see that first Mastodon and now Lemmy are rising, due to basically major social media screwing up.

I remember I was among those that migrated to Mastodon after Elon Musk acquired Twitter and the situation right now with Reddit and Lemmy looks very similar.

One thing I noticed is also a lot of rage (for lack of a better world) and meta-conversations. In this case, it's about Reddit, the subs going private etc.

Don't you find all this funny? I find it also interesting, because people understand when something is wrong and vote with their feet.

I think Twitter is dumb so I never had an "oh shit I also think Elon is dumb and need to leave" moment.

I now definitely relate to what people went through, as Reddit was my single online "social" presence, and I can't in good conscience continue to support them in any way, shape, or form because of the blatant shady attacks against developers.

All that aside, I am super impressed with lemmy (and the fediverse) and kind of bummed it took me until "the big migration" to look into it. I already prefer lemmy 1000% to Reddit after only a couple of days.

I would also MUCH RATHER donate to random cool folk keeping uptime on lemmy instances than, something like, pay reddit monthly for no ads.

Hell I'd rather donate or pay for my own hosting than just give my data/attention span on a greedy corporate platform.
