It was possibly a difficult decision, but I thank you very much for deciding to leave Reddit and stay on Lemmy!
I have been in that community since it was created, I remember that when I found it for the first time it was because its creator had commented that he had created said community in another subreddit.
Personally, leaving Reddit after 5 years doesn't hurt me at all, in fact a week after I started with Lemmy I deleted my Reddit account and activated on Libreddirect so that Reddit redirects to alternative frond-ends so as not to give it a single bit of my data to Reddit.
I have also read what many say that subreddits like r/Privacy are living on borrowed time until suddenly they are banned, like r/NewYuzuPiracy, and in fact it is that Reddit has become a mess because of 10 posts recommended by Brave as discussions relevant to my search, the post is unreachable because 8 of the communities are closed or were banned, and the remaining 2 communities were either forced open or are directly associated with Reddit.
Personally, I believe that this was the correct decision, and honestly, although it will not be the safest place in the world and that over time we will surely find some other problem, it is a thousand times superior to Reddit in everything, it is a pity that not everyone in the world can switch to Lemmy, maybe because of their ignorance or maybe because they consider that looking for an instance and creating an account is very complicated and I understand it, even for someone like me who solves things on his own in the Linux style I have a difficult time trying to understand how to see posts from other instances from mine in Lemmy, and honestly if it weren't for the fact that Linux made me learn that way of "Fixing things by myself" I doubt infinitely that I would have joined Lemmy, because I remember that when I used Windows scared me to even open a command line and type "ls"
With nothing more to say, thank you for your astuteness! Maybe now there is less to moderate but over time this will fill up, I know!
