None of the reddit user diasporas made a dent on reddit’s usage, but people did start using other platforms.

Like tiktok’s ban: it’s not going to move people anywhere else because most people have multiple social media accounts thanks to marketing and that’s what this is.

it’s a lesson i’ve learned many times since the days of bbs & icq; but it keeps catching me off guard.

lemmy’s got it figured out and i think it’s by accident; just stay away from the large instances.

it’s going to be interesting to see how quickly mastadon gets swallowed up by the profit motive.

Oh no, but those poor Blue Sky users, when the service becomes even more terrible they might lose all their posts. We must save them from their own bad decisions!"

i wonder why it’s so hard for people to understand this about social media with significant financial backing; it literally happens every 👏 single 👏 time 👏 .

and here i am bieng the pot that’s calling the kettle black since i did tiktok up until monday. lol

you’re on the wrong instance

Reddit is an American website and the Americans mainstream disregarded a genocide to vote for fascism.

Lemmy was invented by and built for leftists and others who reject this sort of mainstream perspective.

You’re advocating for a reddit like perspective on Lemmy and both the moderate American & reddit perspective is unpalatable and immoral; Lemmy is better of wo this perspective.

The people on your primary instance have qualms about genocide and fascism but believe neither are important enough to change; it would probably help you to focus your feed on your instance.

They’re big parts of the American Overton window now; yet you called their consideration

a much more balanced and wide spectra of political views

And you continue to prove the point that Lemmy has a “far left” overweight. I’ll remind you again that I’m not talking about whether I think you are right or wrong, just that it’s an echo chamber for opinions like this.

genocide is never acceptable and facism is never okay; these are facts, not opinions.

In my experience this kind of comments and “far left” views are the norm on Lemmy. I think that in this regard Reddit had (I have not been there since the API shutdown) a much more balanced and wide spectra of political views …

redditors (like most americans) proved that they believe a genocide is acceptable political collateral damage and that facism is okay; that’s fucked and not at all balanced in any way.
