I don't know if you've noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it's "dogshit" and "not going anywhere" get systematically upvoted.

Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like "yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org" πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

It's frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that "Lemmy is not ready yet" and that there's "no viable alternative to Reddit".

This and the overwhelming number of comments being "against the mod protests" just prompts me to question whether there isn't some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.

Wouldn't care to be honest. Let reddit be shit, all sorts of slander origi ate from there anyway.

I just deleted all my posts, comments and my account on Reddit. No need to get frustrated over people who wants to be a part of that shit show. Also you can't be sure that they are real people and not paid trolls to discourage people. At this point anything is possible with Reddit.

It was a matter of time. They'll give us a stupid name to refer to us from now on soon enough too.

and for some bizarre reason, there are people here who want to scape all this reddit crap with a bot and dump it in our /all feed. I just dont get it.

Reddit HQ, or an apartment block in Russia, or a warehouse in turkey, or a basement in Saudi Arabia..

One of these guys asked me to think about reddits revenue… very strange

If they want to gate-keep themselves then fine by me.

I legit joined this instance yesterday because I'm not going to trust the claims of randos (who are now very easy to see as frauds) and although I agree that Lemmy needs some work, it's responsive and reasonably usable. I'm impressed at how well it's handling the massive Reddit migration.
