Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

Honestly I moved over here a couple months ago and haven’t had the urge to look back. I love this place.
Out of curiosity I read that post and top comments. That place just smells tainted now. If that post is on tenth accurate I feel bad for anyone that feels the need to stay and be part of that drama.
The fediverse has felt just so much more comfortable and safe. I hope it stays this way.
This place feels like Reddit felt back in the early '10s. It’s great.
Part of the glory days of the internet. We should recreate more of that.
Exactly! I remember the excitement back in 2006/2007 when I first tried it. Not much content back then, but it felt like freedom.
This is the reason why I never posted anything on Reddit but started here.
Where’s all the jokey banterous subs?
It’s far better than reddit is but real discussions still aren’t allowed to happen. Before 2016 or so I was still subscribed to /politics because while we didn’t always agree, we could at least discuss. Then in 2016 everyone got TDS and became a fragile child, unable to handle adult topics without banning or reporting. Wrongthink became a reality. And it’s very much a reality here at lemmy.world and other large fediverse instances.
I only go back for the 2 or 3 very niche communities there, although honestly if feels like even those have dropped in content. I haven’t even logged in, just browse once a week or so. Lemmy is 100% of my toilet time now.
