      Agreed, Facebook is terrible. But I’d say that Lemmy and Reddit are on a par (as regards users and mods). Perhaps Lemmy’s major upside is the decentralized structure, but then you lose out on the niche content that Reddit offers.

        I disagree. From my POV it seems like the majority of interactions on lemmy aim at sharing info, checking it and discussion.

        There is some clickbaiting and some BS, but i tend to interpret it as a residual of BS internet culture and a product of the general shit aspects of society. Mostly people here seem to try good.

        We are all a product of history, so this is fine as long as you somehow try to improve (together), imo.

        I think you forget how bad Reddit is. If Lemmy was as bad as Reddit was when I left, I most certainly would not be using it. However, troublesome instances have a habit of hating furries and defederating with us so, your experience may differ.
