I'm genuinely joyful that Reddit is dying. That place was a liability for the internet and society, on multiple ways.

I've watched Ruqqus forming. It started OK but then Voat closed down, and guess what: a place built around a naive/dichotomic conception of free speech, with absolutely no behavioural rules, was bound to be eventually infested by people who don't care about free speech.

The Lemmyverse is shaping differently because the ones being pissed by the changes are different. This time it isn't the ones poking fun at obese people, or the white nationalists, or the "gamers rise up REEEE" and "I'm sooo nice why does nobody like me? ;_;" basement dwellers. No, this time everyone with more than half a brain is getting the fuck out of the boat because we know that it is sinking.

Just my two cents.
