Nah
Lemmy feels similar enough
I experienced Reddit taking over BBs, Facebook taking over MySpace, the death of Netlog...so much change and I'm too young to have experienced BBS and Usenet in their prime even
It always expected reddit going to shit at some point. Commercial platform without open standards = pain once management makes poor strategic decisions
The "pro-capitalist" thing isn't bad IMHO
With Reddit users moving to Lemmy, attitudes on Lemmy become closer to reddit mean: Leaning mid-left due to the majority of users being young western people with many IT workers among them
I remember from the time when Mastodon was very young that many Mastodon instances were explitly far-left,anti-capitalist, queer, or all of this. This caused most other instances to be full.of users who don't want that so even apolitical instances turned into far-right asshole circlejerks
Then both sides started to federate only among each other
Its not like Trumpists,Incelas and such are a minority. I'd rather deal with some shitty communities on a large instance rather than have to think about who to federate with again with half the instances blacklisted
This!
I started using Jerboa today and the login confused me. Jerboa demands login but I couldn:'t find out how to login first
I remember Slide for Reddit having similar issues with their UX but their error message is more informative IIRC
