I find Lemmy uses to be a little pretentious oft times, extremely narrow minded in it's left leaning views. Very Reddit like in that last regard, perhaps more so.
At the same time, I do find a lot of insightful, clear headed individuals and some genuinely good people, but that also exists on Reddit.
The people running this site are better by far and the mods a little more level headed, but I don't expect that to last because power always corrupts.
I've already seen some people modding a stupid number of places, which is always a bad sign.
We'll see where this place ends up, but it is not as liberated and people here want to believe, and not as immune to corruption as they think.
The ones I have seen are also kinda pathetic. Opening 15+ magazines/instances/communities, all of which are almost the same subject, most of them are post-less.
