Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven't been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).

My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I'm not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don't care about data/ownership etc. I'm hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.

Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).

i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
