I’m one of those people. I joined reddit in 2006, and was a very active poster/commenter for nearly two decades.
I deleted all of my alt accounts and logged out of my main for good, well over a year ago. The communities I was involved in were still mostly human and organic, but I saw far too many people getting blocked for disagreeing with the organization. (In addition to all of the other bullshit they were pulling, of course.)
I left, and came here. Lemmy was a wasteland of so few posts that I could read/skim ALL OF THE POSTS on Lemmy, across the fediverse! It was sparse, but I resolved to be the community I sought.
And now we’re…getting there. Reddit still has more real content, but it’s not worth digging through the trash for, and they’re not a company I want to prop up anyway.
