All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

    I’m of the belief that more people more opinions wether you agree or not with them is always better. Reddit and here on Lemmy is both an “echo chamber” of there own making.

      Right on brother.

      As to the second part, I guess i see what you’re saying. Reddit had its own hidey-holes and echo chambers where you could hear different opinions, not so different from here. Federation and defederation between instances act in much the same way (perhaps due to lemmys small size) as the effect as staying in a few niche subreddits. Traversing between instances is familiar, not too different than leaving your sub and scrolling /all.

      Hmmm. Hmmm. I guess you’re right, at least the way i use(d) them.

      Perhaps the only difference between them is reddit’s success and enshittified corporate rent-seeking. Those guys all sound the same and end up making a place same-y and sterilized
