The best I've got is, it's complicated. I left reddit very purposely to avoid a lot of the corp side BS and the results of that on the user base. The number of bots and bought/paid accounts alone is enough of a reason not to go back. It's been getting pretty steadily worse for the last decade at least and while I think the fediverse is kind of toxic, I know for a fact from first hand experience that reddit is more so by a large margin. I want Lemmy to have more users and more communities. I miss reddit for the sheer number of niche communities that haven't moved over. I don't have time to start and moderate a community myself. But I don't want reddit here. I welcome users who want to follow the rules. I don't welcome wholesale reddit occupation of this space.
