A lot of them were upset over API, but otherwise want to keep posting all the same stuff. They like Reddit itself and want to have Lemmy be exactly like Reddit, just without the specific stuff they got mad about.
Presumably these are the people who made a consumer boycott of reddit for not allowing them to have their special reddit apps, so I'd assume them to be more self-righteously liberal than the normal, average redditors.
Self-righteous libs are the worst. They're the same ones who tried to boycott character ai for not letting them fuck the bots, citing some bullshit ptsd dick disease.
for not allowing them to have their special reddit apps
You know those apps have accessibility features that the official app doesnt have and that Spez has made only vague promises of fixing this problem right? Most of the rhetoric I saw on reddit regarding the boycott was focused on standing up for disabled people. Maybe that was just the corners I was in, but still. Discounting this seems shitty.
Admittedly I'd bet there's a lot of redditors who used that as a talking point but don't really care all that much, but it's kinda impossible to know, so I definitely wouldn't shit on them for it unless a disregard for accessibility actual shows up in their words and actions.
i had a quick look at this lemmy.world thing (both their china subreddit and the main page) and my god
how is this different from reddit again? what's the point of this? why did these users even migrate off reddit?

The apps also don't have unblockable ads, so "you have to see ads now" is a good reason to stop using something.
