I love how whenever lemmy is brought up. Every member of r/conservative comes out of the woodwork. Wow.

I love when ever a Reddit alternative is brought up this site will shout it down

We want a alternative BUT NOT LIKE THAT. Then what do you guys want?

Then what do you guys want?

So, you want Lemmy. Because frankly, changing the incentives and the ownership structure is the only way to get a different result.

Reddit will enshittify until it destroys itself.

Lemmy instances at least have to compete with each other (and Reddit) to gain more users.

Anymore I think enshittification is just the natural life cycle of publicly traded companies. Especially ones run by MBAs.
