It’s possible but reddit isn’t the only one looking for engagement, so are individual users. If a site has more users, it has more engagement and content. It is also not impossible to drop the lemmy name when you do go back there to make people aware of the alternative.
I left and joined Lemmy. After a couple of months of being flooded by politics in /c/memes, actually it’s everywhere, and very little new content I started going back. Now I doomscroll both. I usually head to reddit after a couple of posts which portray me as a fascist because I’m not a Marxist.
And moving to a different, more decentralized shithole?
Lemmy has the same power tripping admins and mods, just more of them and each with a new and unique bias. You don’t hate AI? Ban. You acknowledge certain genocide? Ban. You made fun of my typo? Ban.
You know what’s not impossible? Leaving that shit hole and never coming back.

Someone dropped the name lemmy over there, so now I’m here checking it out. Screw reddit, man.
My thought exactly. They can always do like me and nope the fuck out of there.

Public modlogs and federation help fight this.
Helps document this, does little to fight it.
