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?
I left Reddit because I realized that the people running it were complete assholes who believed money was more important than community.
What made me interested in Lemmy was the decentralized nature. What made me stay is how it reminded me of Reddit a decade ago and of course the community.
