Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.

I'm hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don't love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren't out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.

As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.

Lots of people will hate me for this take but the best part of Twitter was its recommendation algorithm specifically between 2018-2021ish. The ability for everyone to meme about the same thing in the span of a few hours was fantastic and hilarious. I generally didn't give a shit about following famous people and have only been on Twitter for the meme culture.

Nowadays the algorithm is TERRIBLE though. I personally can't see myself moving to mastodon because I don't care about individual people though.

Mostly I used Twitter to follow specific journalists and a few famous people. Mostly sports stuff. There isn't much sports media on Mastodon unfortunately.
