Just wondering what brought everyone here.
Background: I was banned from Reddit for questioning the system and feel that true leftist ideologies on Reddit are severely censored (despite being considered one of the few last leftist social media platforms). I think the left needs more tech literacy and I hope the Fediverse is the future.
So, I am wondering what made folks curious about alternative options?


The loss of Reddit third party apps and the reasons they were giving for them doing it felt like it was going to be a slippery slope of shit. The Reddit app was also shit at the time and still is.
With Lemmy, I can just go looking for another app if there’s something I don’t like and even if I don’t switch between them, they also seem to be way more configurable too.
