It’s now time to start banging the drum about #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Piefed as Reddit replacements.
Because right now we really do need decentralized alternatives to Big Social.

@atomicpoet try posting something anti-communist on Lemmy main instance or on lemmyngrad
@jonn Thankfully, you don’t have to post to Lemmy main instance. You have options because you’re not stuck in a walled garden.
@atomicpoet but development of if absolutely is. There are alternatives not made *and controlled by* stalinists.
@atomicpoet how about you go and... (sorry, I'm not good at passive aggressive responses)... stop promoting stalinist trash? 😅
@atomicpoet these words you say, they sure form sentences. It low key feels like you're a stalinist apologist? 🤔
Read up, my dude: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_deportations_from_Latvia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag,

I hope you'll get to experience what you preach first hand 🥺 ♥️
@atomicpoet thank you for a reasonable response. I strongly disagree, especially if you don't mention lemmy dev team, but I can see some consistency and I'm glad you're not a lemmy user 🙂
I think that Reddit is, sadly, not better than Reddit. But also Reddit was kinda weird. I've always tried to minimize my presence there. Remember /r/watchpeopledie? What sort of twister mofos would be content with that on their fave platform. Always felt like 4chan for normies, and after the corporate takeover, I don't even know what it is. An ad? 😂
Look, I don’t choose what software is popular. And it didn’t become popular because I “promote” it.
But software doesn’t choose who makes it, and whoever Lemmy’s devs are, they still made something objectively better than Reddit.
And if you’re suggesting Reddit is better than Reddit, well, you’re wrong.
Regardless, you don’t have to use Lemmy. I personally don’t use Lemmy—I use and recommend Mbin.
But Lemmy is used and I will continue to talk about it.
