I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.

You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.

They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.

Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?

Honestly for the love of sanity you should probably also stop using Lemmy, for similar reasons. Many of the large communities heavily censor, and many communities are super toxic.

Reddit is occasionally still useful for getting answers to questions because they actually have a user base to support niche subjects. I never post, but there is a good chance someone has already asked the question I have and there is an actual answer, unlike here.

I browse Lemmy like once a week, but I try to limit actually posting or commenting like once or twice a month, because the engagement is often so vitriolic that it causes anxiety and is generally bad for me. The benign communities are usually small and boring.
