why are left leaning groups still using reddit? (linux.community)

the most egregious example I can think of is antiwork in reddit. Posters there love to rant against companies, but they also give good advice regarding laws in different states and is a good source to deal with micromanagers and toxic workplaces.

But it's like they simply don't think that reddit is making money with every post they write. It's like they're working for the enemy they so much despise, a large corporation.

It baffles me that people keep posting there. Is the fediverse alternative really that bad?

They want views and lemmy's discoverability isnt easy

The Fediverse unfortunately still has less reach.

Some people just like debating. It’s incredibly refreshing when someone you completely disagree with raises a thoughtful, interesting point.

There the here and there. Where else would you like them to go?

Because reddit is ultra soft on leftists?

The responses here so far are bizarre. Those reddit communities should absolutely be pushing their members to switch to Lemmy. None of the excuses here so far are remotely valid.

Well that might require WORK. Lol 😂

Well, that would require lemmy users promoting the use of lemmy to reddit users, so that many of them learn that lemmy exists to begin with. Most lemmy users avoid reddit like the plague.

Perhaps you see part of the problem now.
