I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has been a net negative and I’m pretty much ready to move on. I just don’t know where else to go.

    Because there is enough people to drown out all the people being paid by political parties to post here and offset the upvotes they buy.

    The DNC has dozens of paid people on this platform and Because a post may only get 100 comments the people being paid can make it look like their opinion is the popular opinion.

      I’m not sure if Lemmy has a large enough userbase to warrant paying shills to sway opinion.

      What would the purpose of that be? Get 20-30 politically inactive Arch Linux users to vote for Biden?

        Shhh, don’t tell them about the secret paid Lemmy posting jobs. I’m up to 45 Soros bucks an hour posting about fully automated luxury gay space communism a few times a week. Don’t ruin this for me!
