Tbh I didn’t mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).

Twitter is to Mastodon as Reddit is to Lemmy.

I personally locked my account, and only going there to “spy” on some people only being active there, or to interact with some mutual. It’s too much of a toxic pit, the porn bots now even post illegal stuff, and the site is buggy. It was quite good for my mental health to delete that app from my phone though. I miss the community I had there, some I’m instead in contact on Discord (I have a Matrix account too, haven’t been using it much), some on Mastodon. That community was slowly disappearing since the Musk takeover, not because of my absence from what is now basically just a 4chan that is still somehow attracts corporations. I wonder if I manage to find a new one soon, or maybe even create my own.

Is there a problem other than Nazis and other far right idiots spamming their hot takes? That’s certainly a culture problem but hopefully most instances just ban Nazis instead of letting the cancer grow.
