No one likes ads or people with money influencing what they can see, its all anyone is complaining about on social media especially with the tiktok ban, thats why pixelfed has an influx, every other post I see is “block facebook block musk fix your algorithim bs” they would prefer an owned by the ppl social media id they knew of it and if it was as functional.

I didn’t even know lemmy existed til a week before I got banned off reddit, thought voat was still around lol. Thats also because I specifically asked for alts on the alt subreddit.
