Unpopular answer: you should.

Lemmy is already going downhill since the big surge. Even if you look at sign ups, numbers don’t mean better.

The entirety of Lemmy is too FOSS and Linux focused, and even trying to have a normal basic tech discussion about anything you’ll find yourself getting hate thrown towards you for not using Linux or FOSS. Lemmy users bully the crap out of Sync and Boost developer for asking for a few bucks to support development.

I’m only here because I got IP banned from Reddit, thinking Lemmy would take off. I don’t miss Reddit, but I’m a little sad I ruined my chances of ever being able to go back. Any new account is immediately permabanned.

Even if you stick around, I genuinely don’t believe Lemmy will be here by next October. All of these instances will see a decrease in users, decrease in donations, and they’ll shut down one by one. Actually, weirdly enough having everyone move to just a couple popular instances might keep Lemmy alive longer, as everything won’t be so fragmented.
