    This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I remember seeing something a while back on r/coolguides about alternatives for various sites, including Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit. Today, I saw the writing on the wall and decided it was time.

    The worst isn’t just the Luigi thing, it’s that in the future, they will most likely expand it to include any topic that the administration disapproves of.

      my sentiment exactly. this is just the start of it. once they became a publicly traded company, it was no longer a social media for the people. may free speech live on ✊

          I am new here, and I actually like everything about it. It’s very simplified. But the fact that it’s decentralized is the key reason to why I moved here.

      Fair, I’ve always been aware of Lemmy as a paranoid schizo, but I think that I won’t want the right to use Google before they become a tool of the government to find people who speak out.
