You bring up one advantage I see from Lemmy. Even though I’ve seen this article posted before (I think by L4Sbot in !technology@lemmy.world), the nature of de-centralized content means that cross-posting onto various servers is actually encouraged to get input from a variety of users from different communities (for example, people who have disabled viewing bot-account posts).
On Reddit, people would be quick to say “boooooo repoooost”, but I’ve not seen that too much of that, just a few complaints of “there’s too much orange guy and muskrat in my feed”.

Also, for me, it's the fact I do not feel my data and privacy are being siphoned, sold, and fingerprinted on this platform. Another factor is that I feel the people and interactions are pure and authentic, rather than astroturfed and ambiguous. That may change as the fedicerse grows, but for now it is bringing me back of the older days of the internet.

For what it’s worth, that was a big reason why I moved as well, everyone here actually cares. ❤️
