Imo Reddit has been the winner of the 3rd party apps and fuck spez protests. The users came crawling back. A few of us went to lemmy and formed quality communities, but for the most part, a large majority are on there.

It's also not really a place for normal people.

I'd never recommend Lemmy to anyone that isn't used to dealing with tankies and delusional zealots

People having to get used to people is common. If they can get used to their uncle talking about how the earth is flat I'm sure they they can get used to people on Lemmy.

I don't recommend lemmy because I don't have conversations about social media sites with people.

You can get used to everything, most people would probably quit though.

I spend maybe a tenth of the time here that I spent on reddit
