I'm still a redittor,
and on reddit, I sometimes link to Lemmy.

What do you think of a white person who'd walk through a bad part of town, alone (and without weapons), as an attempt to deal with wt:thons racism or possible racism, or at least presumption(s)?
It might be interesting how some in the list might deal with police. 😁🙂
Maybe she will join Lemmy.
I doubt her joining reddit will make it worse.
why reddit is better:
-
reddit has polls (even if it's only up to 6 choices, and <8 days)
-
reddit currently has more users, and thus more people to interact with
-
I kinda like karma pints.
-
my pro-Green Party/Jill Stein posts aren't visible to most redittors, and thus aren't as much downvoted, if at all
-
I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo
why Lemmy is better:
-
no ads, not run by a corporation
-
It's federated.
-
as one respondent already said ITT: more cozy
-
my Vimeo, niconico, Archive, Wikicommons, and the very rare PeerTube posts look no worse than my YouTube posts—though with most posts, one can't see as many thumbnails.
why Miraheze is better:
-
no ads, not run by a corporation
-
I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo, Archive, niconico, Wikicommons, and Miraheze Commons (on a few of the wikis at least)
-
Files in Wikicommons can be transcluded.
-
I like the wiki format (at least their and WMF wiki formats) best.
why WMF projects are better:
-
no ads, not run by a corporation
-
Wikipedia is one of the most visited website on the internet; I enjoy categorizing files on Wikicommons; I like the structures of Wikiversity's wikidebates.
I'm also thinking of posting in RationalWiki next year.
I've been banned from one community here already.
that it's (currently) much less popular than reddit.
When I joined reddit, it was at least a year—probably 3 years—before I was banned from a subreddit—r/AskReddit. I've been here little more than a year and I've not only been banned from a notable community here, but when I asked to be unbanned—once, then letting perhaps a few weeks pass, then twice—I got no reply.
(and I'm not going to ask a 3rd time, but will simply create a [community-I-was-banned-from]2.)
If I can resist Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok (of which I have never had an account, don't have, and probably won't have on any of those 3), I can resist Lemmy.
