Pure curiosity:

If you left reddit or another corporate platform under the banner of not being censored by their views or beliefs, what was that?

Wait. Before we open this can of worms, I’m not at all curious about an in-depth explanation of unpopular views or opinions that are generally extremist or that most reasonable people consider extreme. More of:

  • I left reddit or some other because they censor…?
  • The lemmy community is more for me because?
  • I reasons my instance policies or moderators are better than the other platform is?
  • The other platform restricted opinions or views regarding…?

If you feel like sharing, just summarize the general idea, please no indoctrination speeches.

Oh boy…

    Spez killed third party apps so he could track people and sell ads. First party apps were bad and getting worse. And the whole way it went down was just dishonest and shitty. I don’t wanna support that.

    I also really enjoyed being able to see new content AND comment on it/interact with the community. That was the reason Reddit was cool to me. If I didn’t channel that energy towards something else I’d have ended up back on Reddit.

    And the cherry on top, I love the idea of decentralized social networks. It’s better for the internet.
