Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
It's in several spots, people basically saying "I've had a solid time except for all these nasty russian bots that we will soon outnumber!"
No way an American disagrees with you, or anyone else of an Approved Nationality! No, it must be a pesky ruskie who managed to reach a computer despite not having any paved roads!
Yeah definitely. When this site first started up, some two years after I joined the sub and started moving left, I still hadn't yet fully let go of belief in US propaganda about Uighurs in China. But I lurked in the arguments on the subject here, and eventually I came around. (I'm still fuzzy on the details of the DPRK, but at this point I don't believe anything the Western media says about foreign adversaries, so I've come around there too.) And as a result, I'm proud to say that my Ukraine takes would get me labeled a "Russian shill" by these shitlibs.
