I mean, the behavior of the community speaks for itself. They try so hard not being the thing they ran from three years ago, but in the midst of their attempt, they end up evolving into the very thing they ran from. Its like they just didn’t like being on the platform of origin, promised they’d do better, then realizing how separated they are to where they just recreated it by instinct.
Power-Tripping Mods, Gaslighting Users, Immature Moderators, 100 Rules to follow but contradicts itself .etc
I can just go on and on and on. Oh and I don’t even care about this stupid debate that happened between .ML and .World because there’s virtually no difference and it is just nothing but a sissy online slapfight.
That’s a big deal to those of us who like lemmy/piefed. If you don’t care about those things, then yeah you might as well stay on Reddit.
Finding an instance aligned with your values means nothing when pretty much all of the content is centralized on 1-2 instances like it is here, and those instances have mods that are just as heavy handed as reddit.
