    It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.

      This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.

        I guess the difference here is that there isn’t a defined group of people running the side

        • admins have some power, but users can switch instances in 2 clicks
        • devs have some power, but other compatible platforms exist (https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ for people reading this)
        • mods have some power, but modlogs are public, and people will create other communities after powertrips
