Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
Getting banned in communities you’ve never been to bc the admin disagreed with you in a public channel is keeping the Reddit pettiness alive.
Also, the lack of nuance is the same. If you have an opinion in a political comm, you basically have to write a novel describing your stance or people will take your brevity as an opening to attack you.
Still, there are some really great communities that respect diversity, are truly supportive, and kind that make me feel ok about the world.
