I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.

Sorry for any disturb, bye :3

P.S.

Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.

    I’d argue it already is an actual alternative so long as you’re following more general technical content rather than niche local stuff. Most of us the people here have Reddit’s API shutdown for third party apps to thank including myself. At least for me the last time I tried using the first party app it had major issues playing gifs on my Galaxy A52. Combine the bugs with the general closing of the platform and it was quite an easy switch. Lemmy is certainly smaller, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I waste less time on it than I used to on Reddit which feels more healthy.
