Wasn’t trying to convince anyone of anything. Just offering a reality check.

Lemmy vs Reddit is like this meme where the one side says “I hate you” and the other side says “Who are you?” (or was it “I don’t even think of you”, can’t remember).

Lemmy is cool. It being small has benefits and I like the political direction here much more than on Reddit. I like that most people I interact with on Lemmy genuinely are humans. On Reddit, that’s much more difficult to be certain of.

But Lemmy is not Reddit, it’s not a Reddit alternative, it’s not even a Reddit competitor. It’s a nice little niche forum, a little anti-capitalist experiment, that kinda copied the UI and UX of old Reddit. That’s totally fine and it’s got it’s value. Otherwise I wouldn’t have >3000 comments on this platform.

But it’s a factor of 100 000x off of being on the radar of Spez and his crew.
