They haven’t been trustworthy in years! Reddit is heavily astroturfed by government agents. Ft Elgin was the “most reddit addicted” city and it’s also where they conduct propaganda ops. They quietly scrubbed that fact. If you like reddit you must be waiting for your pension from uncle sam otherwise you’re a zuck style dumb fuck

Don’t act like Lemmy can’t be immediately astroturfed as well.

No man made organization is infallible. Due to Lemmy’s decentralized nature though it’s objectively more difficult. Astroturfing or completely co-opting all possible instances would be quite an impressive feat.

You don’t need to, you only need to go after the large ones. I’m already on my third instance, and having to move is such a giant pain in the ass, I don’t think I’d do it again.

What motivated you to switch instances? Did your early ones fill up with junk posts etc? I was thinking that since I use a reader app (Boost for Lemmy) and everything is federated it wouldn’t matter much if I joined one of the large and general-purpose instances.
Or was it more about performance issues… service/instance traffic overload leading to slow response time?
