We’re living in an age of demagoguery, I don’t know why you wouldn’t use that metaphor instead of the relatively harmless advertising, it’s much more important and you can look around and see what it’s like.

I don’t understand what you’re asking.

Lemmy has flaws, but Reddit is a fucking cesspool.

There’s not going to be a replacement for what Reddit used to be. The world is shittier now, that’s just gone. The right way to think of it is that the replacement for Reddit is a combination of Lemmy (or another preferred option) and being less online, being less attached to any one site.

I quit Reddit when they killed third party apps, I quit Twitter when Musk bought it.
