    Some of the people in that reddit thread are unreasonably angry that some people moved to Lemmy.

    I’ll never understand loving a company so much that anyone who doesn’t like it is automatically deemed a bad person. Why is a stranger’s choice of social media so personal to some of these people? Why are they so livid?

    I’m not even going to quote the specific comments I’m referring to just in case I get banned. One of them was comparing the entire lemmyverse to the subreddits that were banned over explicitly only having content about hating strangers for existing.

    I’m happy I left if that what I’m “missing out” on.

      I find it weird that they’re not more mad that reddit got ruined by a fuckhead CEO and horrible management.

      The really confusing part to me, is that, though I haven’t personally read the comments, I don’t doubt your experience… But the post is in /r/redditalternatives… Which should be filled with members who are actively encouraging and discussing openly alternatives to Reddit… Right?

      It confuses me why there seem to be so many Reddit die-hards in a subreddit about finding other sites that bear some similarity to Reddit…

      Then again, straight Christians who are anti-LGBTQ+ show up to gay pride regularly too… Which is equally confusing to me. I get it, you don’t like it. That’s fine. Just go home Sarah, nobody wants you here when you’re just going to complain the whole time. (I know there’s more depth to this example than I’ve touched on, it’s not the point of the example, so I’ll just stop there)
