Twitter is still influencing the rest of the web (look at its influence on reddit since Musk bought Twitter, and Spez started wanting to live in his skin). I don't think we can just take the good without the bad and assume a net positive.
Nah, as someone who came from reddit, we were generally a pretty terrible bunch even before bots basically took over. I don't feel that Lemmy is much better but the platform's overall practices seem to be better. My mileage with the community varies greatly from day to day.
What annoys me about Lemmy, at least with the communities and instances that I'm connected to, is that it is a really bad echo chamber for left / far-left techies. It's not exactly representative of what is going on in the world. Don't get me wrong , I prefer a left mindset. But I believe this is dangerous to a certain degree. I'm starting to think I should go back to forae. This whole social bullshit disguised as a news-aggregator is just exhausting.
