No one likes ads or people with money influencing what they can see, its all anyone is complaining about on social media especially with the tiktok ban, thats why pixelfed has an influx, every other post I see is "block facebook block musk fix your algorithim bs" they would prefer an owned by the ppl social media id they knew of it and if it was as functional.

I didn't even know lemmy existed til a week before I got banned off reddit, thought voat was still around lol. Thats also because I specifically asked for alts on the alt subreddit.

Reddit mods suck, reddit karma system sucks for new users so we have that over them (they can barely comment and cant post), reddit censors all the time at least once most ppl have been temp banned or had a comment/post removed that they thought wasn't controversial. The algorithim is forcing controversy, cant avoid negative subreddits, your subscribed feed will show you stuff you arent subscribed to from communities that you downvote.

Reddit just has the ppl that have been there forever and are addicted to answering questions for dopamine hits. Whats annoying is reddit tends to have ppl that are at the intermediate level of each niche so the advice/info they give gets popular and parroted while it may not be the best.

Major issue with reddit is shills and bots, you cant trust reccs on their anymore, gotta look through profile history, might be slightly better here due to them not targetting us.

Bluesky really swooped in with their marketing, that shift shouldve gone to mastodon.

Mastodon did it to themselves.

There's a reason Bluesky has a UI that's more or less exactly like old Twitter. It makes for a smooth transfer.

if the Fediverse is so great (ethical, devoid of advertising or toxic, addictive algorithms, with the goal of genuinely connecting people) why is it that the general public has not heard of it?

Oh for about the same reason big media is suddenly all fine and dandy with Nazis, I'd think. Money talks, and for people with cages, if you can't promote yourself for some reason then at least you promote each other.
