    Reddits an echo chamber for the worst ppl 9f the left. Disagree and you get a ban. We need more online places where there is no banning and people can just disagree and learn that they are not the only type of person.

      I’m gonna let you know right know, Lemmy isn’t the place for alt-right nutters who had disgusting enough views to get banned from Reddit of all places (a pretty conservative community in general) for being too right-wing. Lemmy is literally a gradient of full-on communists to centrists that at least agree we should have basic social welfare. Even the prominent conservatives here aren’t openly vehemently anti-lgbt and anti-social welfare like American conservatives usually are.

      Lemmy isn’t exactly politically extremist, but even the relatively right-wing-friendly Lemmy instances (like world) look communist compared to Reddit

    What’s really baffling to me is that a bunch of nerds with too much free time on their hands basically stomped out a fully fledged Reddit alternative within a few months, including multiple frontends and apps.

    Yet Reddit spends millions on development every year, for no discernable improvement whatsoever, while still turning no profit.

    Where is all that money going? Seriously, Reddit is a very simple site. There’s nothing that hard about it. The amount of data is tiny, since the content is external, none of the resources are that time critical, a lot of content can be cached.

    What are the devs doing all day?
