I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.
I was on Discuit during/before the Squabbles(Squabblr) drama, and traffic to the site has died down considerably. I assume most people went back to Reddit having exhausted their search for a Reddit alternative.
Or, hopefully, some ended up on federated platforms. Like yourself - I’m happy you’re here!
What was the Squabbles drama? I remember that site being touted by some as a Reddit alternative during the APIcalypse but I never really cared for it for various reasons, both with the site itself and its founder.
I never really followed it further beyond making an account, though, as I ended up here.
Short version is that the admin went frEe SPeECh ABsOLutIsT, it went about as well as that kind of thing usually does and most users left.
I see. I did get some bad vibes from him from the off so I’m not completely surprised. I’m glad I never invested any time or effort into that site. I hope some of the users leaving found Lemmy.
This is the tl;dr I wish I wrote, but am saving for next time.
