When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don't 100% agree with everyone and I don't have to hold "sanctioned" opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.

Reddit was so American too, all the arguments and things seemed to be through their world view. The fediverse should allow much more diversity, and be a bit more multicultural

Americans are the largest English speaking group, as long as we're in the English part of Lemmy, Americans will still be the largest group.

Reddit unironically gives me 1984 as it’s about to get worse from here on out.
