What made you quit Reddit and move to Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

For me, it was the toxic circlejerk (admins/mods as well) low quality content getting upvoted while high quality submissions not getting much attention/buried and obvious privacy issues.

That's the main thing for me. The biggest subs are completely US-centric and espouse a US-centered worldview. And of course new reddit is unbearable to use. I'm convinced the only thing holding up reddit is the ecosystem of great mobile apps, none of which are made by reddit the company.

The only genuinely good content is on niche communities, which could easily be moved anywhere like here.
