The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time.

And that’s just not bloody true.

Couldn't have said it better myself

I jumped over here a couple weeks ago at the request of another redditor and it's like a breath of fresh air.

I still check out reddit for a couple subs that just don't have enough interaction over here "yet".

I've mentioned lemmy a couple times over there and got replies like " it's just too complicated " etc. and now that I think about it they were most likely bots 🤔

Ima go back to the cesspool and investigate

Literally a breath fresh of air is what I can relate to. I also realized how it’s way way smaller in the size of communities and I appreciate it. My other favorite is no advertisement. I am as well trying to introduce a couple of my friends to move over the Lemmy. It is a little bit of a curve to learn, but it’s not as hard.

Seems like a lot of people will be coming from reddit.

Hopefully some of the niche communities get a little more traffic over here. Most of the subs I visited over there weren't very toxic and i actually referred to reddit over google for info on a variety of subjects. It's just hard to support the platform at this point it really went downhill since 14 ~16
