I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.
Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers
Such a call to action only works if the people in question have some sort of a fixed interest specifically in the Lemmy community. Those on the fence about leaving (myself included, not that it matters) have no such interest.
I’m considering leaving because the community sucks. Why would I stick around based on the threat that if I go it might get worse?
That’s like a manager telling an employee at a shitty job that they shouldn’t quit because then the place will be short staffed.
