I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

I mean the nice thing about Lemmy is you can always create your own community, and if that's not enough, your own instance.

It removes a bad mods ability to completely dominate, because there's always an escape hatch for folks who are just done with their shit.

    True, but when it’s a main community that pertains to your interests, it’s crappy to be banned from it for fictional reasons. Would be the same on any other social media site I guess. I find people here are more militant in their beliefs.

    You can do that on most platforms. It isn't worth the effort unless you can pull users into your new community. That's hard.

    You don't need any users to interact with other instances. A lot of people are in a instance of one person, themselves.

    Are you still bound by the rules of individual instances, no matter if you agree with them or not? Yes.

    If their rules upset you, consider blocking the entire instance/community.
