    Honestly seeing how much shitty Reddit has become has made me realise, how better off I am now by quitting all the major social media platforms. We definitely need to start popularising alternative to the mainstream social media platforms esp as the major ones are super prone to disinformation and stuff, due to capitalistic interests etc.

      Not sure if this will work, reddit isn’t shittier just from corporate interest instead is all these things too: community , ai automated bots, and advertising. Now if Lemmy court the eye of bad actors I would fear our moderation may struggle with keeping bad actor bots from our platform, same goes for instance administrators and community moderators, what systems do we really have to keep them in check?

      Agreed. Lemmy is still coming along nicely, we’ve got a good suite of apps to choose from now, and features are steadily being added. It’s significantly more ready for primetime than it was a year ago. Still a WIP of course, but useability is decent.
