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.

well, i'm still lurking on reddit. you can't really beat it content wise, but i also need another place to hang out and actually have conversations that has not been completely taken over by corporate money like reddit has. too much censorship going on over there. i also remember lemmy reading a while ago that lemmy took a stance towards being anarchist-friendly and anti-fascist. that's nice to know and I hope it stays this way.
