Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

(But not the Taylor Swift armpit one)

I came back to Lemmy as in trying to avoid American corporation owned social networks. Reddit falls into that category.

Yes I’m here so expect this place to be filled with awful soon.

I can’t go back to Reddit. Bots, bots as far as the eyes can see.

I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.

It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.

It's no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they're not here yet.

Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.

Fun times.

Hopefully they are active and interesting people.

I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.

So we have about as many users as the subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits
