    No doubt many have tried the fediverse and walked away because of Lemmy.ml/hexbear.

    I don’t even admit that I use it as is because of the propaganda. I’m still hopeful for the future but my enthusiasm is dying.

      Same, I can’t recommend lemmy to friends or coworkers because of this. Mastodon is much better at this

        Maybe I’ll switch to Mastadon. I find myself going back to Reddit as often as using Lemmy these days, so maybe it’s time.

        I suspect everyone switching won’t solve the problem. Seems unavoidable that open-access, anonymous social media will be a target for propaganda any time it becomes popular. If everyone leaves for Mastadon, the shills and their LLMs will move over there.
