Why is there hostility towards suggestions to switch to lemmy from redditors?

    Worse, some see it as scam (been compared to crypto) and some see it as “hard left” like a Truth Social for tankies. Little attempt to try and understand beyond that and I‘m not going to attempt to comment about it again as I don‘t even want to give Reddit the traffic.

    However, I think some more will come around as Reddit will surely enshittify further, which benefits any alternatives like Lemmy/kbin if we build communities here with interesting content.

      I mean… I thought that, and that’s why I joined 🤣

      Glad it hasn’t been 100% tankie, but so far I’ve felt at home with a mostly left userbase
