Okay, fair enough. Although, honestly, I'm struggling to figure something out and maybe you know.
If Lemmy users all hated Reddit and Reddit users so much, why did they all go there and try to convince everyone from Reddit to come to Lemmy when the API debacle happened?
It's just a case of different opinions, I think. Or perhaps they think reddit having 100's of millions of users is creating the problems, and that they won't exist here if those same voices came to Lemmy. But I would mostly just say it's two different groups of people asking for two different things.
I'm in the boat that Lemmy has fully replaced reddit for me and I don't feel the need to go convincing more people to jump ship. The people who cared about the health of Reddit as a platform have already come to Lemmy, the people who don't, or need the massive userbase to use a website? They can stay there.
