A little maybe, but not much.
I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.
It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.
the point is lemmy is ours, not some psycho billionaire’s.
Ik. Ik. I like that.
I was talking about the userbase.
Still love Lemmy. Despite its flaws, It’s still the best one out there.

Feel free to make an instance for yourself
Mods do not own the servers, no.
If you run your own lemmy instance on your own hardware it’s really yours.
this is the point i was making. You can never own anything in commercial social media, here you can own your own instance if you want to. And since instances live and die by users actually using them, each user has more agency too. reddit will keep going even without users.
