I occasionally peek at reddit through a periscope just to see how the dumpster fire is going. Each time I've done it it reminds me of what a toxic hellscape it is. I'm never going back to that horrible place. I use kbin and don't really know Lemmy and only vaguely understand what instances and federation are but so far there's been more than enough content to keep me... ahem... content. I've also noticed that over the last couple of weeks the content on kbin has increased both in quantity and quality. It's not an easy transition because I was very badly hypnotised by reddit but I know it's the only way forward.
