IT IS WAY MORE The spez exodus made me realize the difference, you can tell the content/comments are from regular people here. Sadly that too can change once those actors see Lemmy as their new platform for propaganda.

That's the potentially nice thing about Lemmy though - if you're savvy, you will probably start to identify which instances are more or less trustworthy than others. And if an instance tends to have a lot of untrustworthy activity, defederation is always an option. To what extent we'll see those things play out, I don't know yet, but it'll be interesting to see.
