IT IS WAY MORE The spez exodus made me realize the difference, you can tell the content/comments are from regular people here. Sadly that too can change once those actors see Lemmy as their new platform for propaganda.

Not if Lemmy sticks to their platform.

That's the potentially nice thing about Lemmy though - if you're savvy, you will probably start to identify which instances are more or less trustworthy than others. And if an instance tends to have a lot of untrustworthy activity, defederation is always an option. To what extent we'll see those things play out, I don't know yet, but it'll be interesting to see.
