Freedom is the goal with the fediverse, so I’d prefer it stays niche than become like reddit. I used reddit and now sadly Instagram too and the users can’t be compared to Lemmy. Instagram is obscenely toxic, I will never doomscroll there again it was worse than reddit, which was also still pretty bad.
However what I really can’t stand is the slow restrictions, the watering down of content to the point where it’s insufferably bland. I came here to escape that. Post whatever the hell I want to post and browse whatever the hell other people felt like posting. The sincerity of everything is what makes the fediverse special for me.

As opposed to being crushed under the corporate machine?

Oh stop.
There are several communities I follow that are either husks of what exists on Reddit or aren’t here at all.
I wish I could just get everyone to move but it just isn’t happening.

Why would anyone want millions of users to come here? Everything that becomes popular or has potential to make a lot of money is always ruined eventually.
