Just wondering what brought everyone here.

Background: I was banned from Reddit for questioning the system and feel that true leftist ideologies on Reddit are severely censored (despite being considered one of the few last leftist social media platforms). I think the left needs more tech literacy and I hope the Fediverse is the future.

So, I am wondering what made folks curious about alternative options?

    I left Reddit because I didn’t want AI scraping my lackluster comments.

    I gravitated to lemmy vs Mastodon or Blsky because the community seemed more “based” instead of biased.

    And it’s great. When I’m wrong, the lemmings folks here rip me a new one.

      AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn’t curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.
