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?

    Yeah like I don’t miss Reddit at all except how much more frequently people post on truegaming there. We haven’t quite gotten our community off the ground here yet, but I’m optimistic!

      It will all unfold gradually. I continue to use Reddit and also enjoy Lemmy. The main issue with Reddit, particularly the old.reddit version, is the lack of a dark mode and the need to zoom in to poke around on the phone, which becomes a bit cumbersome. Back when Apollo was around, it significantly enhanced the Reddit experience.

      Over time, users will come to recognize that the experience on Reddit is less than ideal. Currently, its only advantage is its large user base which is increasing becoming run by bots.

        How dare you still use reddit !? /s

        But seriously there were a lot more variety of communities on reddit with more people. Some people need the more frequent interaction, some need the niche subs, and some people need the polish/maturity. That’s just how it is

          Yeah I use Reddit for some subs that aren’t active here, like Sim Racing. I use Lemmy frequently as my /r/all since there isn’t as much content yet. Sometimes I have to remember what instance I’m in because of ones like hexbear and even .ml to a degree
