      Lemmy/Piefed is an echo chamber, and has some structural issues like Reddit. But there’s no algo, no advertising, nor constant phone notifications.

      And, uh, no billionaires warping “open” discourse.

      To me, it’s a time black hole, worse than old forums. But it’s not nearly as bad as (say) Discord or anything Facebook owned.

      You tell me:

      -are you getting ads/shorts/brainrot shoved in face every single second?

      -is the public on lemmy tolerant of sexoffenders? Nazis?

      -ads? (Yes, I initially misspelled it as “adds” this guy right here)

      -do you have superfluous bs following you around?

      I think not.

        But thanks for listing why I like it here

        Regarding adds: I guess if you fight one lemmy user, others will spawn and come to help. So I would say yes, there are adds
