Me, but that's because Reddit permabanned me on the post- inauguration bloodbath.
In some ways I like Lemmy a lot better for things like politics. It doesn't have all the puns, trolls, Russian Propaganda Farmers, bots, novelty accounts, etc., so while they are fewer comments, they tend to be more substantial. I can also mostly say what I think without getting suspended.
On the other hand, I miss some of the personal forums, which are far more active on Reddit. I'd like the guitar forums to be more active, but they barely have any posts. Most have weeks or even months between posts, while Reddits have a constant flow, every minute. I keep saying that I'm going to start posting content as often as possible, but I haven't yet. Maybe I'll start this week.
i had no choice but to block politics on lemmy, for one they thought my criticism of israeli aggression and censorship of usA university was a antisemitic NAZI ploy, i was like wtf
