been on the fediverse a few years, but didn't really move over until my third reddit ban and how increasingly awful reddit is. i might already be unbanned againt but i just don't see a point in posting on reddit anymore where jokes about your cat killing rabbits is considered promoting violence and talking about your life experiences are considered sexist/racist.
i still miss my 'controversial' subreddits i used to be a part of. like bicyclingcirclejerk. i don't miss the insane people on my city subreddit who had insane political takes and massive victim complexes. but there are plenty of people on lemmy who make posts like that. but at least here they are mostly in their own communities i can block, rather than spouting there crazy nonsense in totally unrelated spaces.
i started getting fed up with reddit around 2020, but all the alts back then were awful. at least now they have a decent user base and some more moderate/open minded instances. 5 years ago it was all conspiracy crazy people and nazis. i used kbin until it died and then moved to .world
