For me Lemmy was my gateway to the rest of the Fediverse. I can say I like Lemmy way more than I ever did Reddit. The people are nicer the engagement feels more real and over all it’s a better vibe. Here’s to 2 more everyone!

AFAIK there was another exodus after they announced to be training AI based on Reddit content, another when they went public, another for starting heavily censoring more the platform (some people a while ago were getting banned just for saying Luigi or upvoting posts with it)

I had no idea they went public

I don't know if I was part of any major purge or not... I had some temp bans from a bot and then finally a permanent one, just expressing a wish for some blood clot to break free. I mean, it was way less expressive than other posts but I was marked for exit due to violence?!. I felt sad. I deleted an account, made another and then got re-banned within 24 hrs for no specific post, just for trying to overcome the ban... then I did a bit of research and honestly decided they suck, I don't need them and life offers better platforms. I hate this current internet shitification level though. The way I was treated... well, I kind of understand why people decide to be trolls as a lifestyle behavior. I am not a troll though... just a bit rowdy and irreverent.
