Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.
That’s a fair point. Reddit has been openly hostile to its own users these past several years. It might help moderate that to have another alternative on the table, even if it too is a soulless corporate enterprise.
It’s an alternative to Lemmy with some different features. Since it uses the same protocol under the hood, its instances federate with Lemmy. There’s more info on the differences here.
The only Reddit alt I need is Lemmy.
Anything that takes users away from Reddit, and forces Reddit to compete, is a plus for me.

Competition is good. Also the less data Reddit has, the slower A.I. models can be trained.
This is quite toxic attitude. You should focus on what’s good for you - not what’s bad for someone else.
Eh, what’s bad for capitalists is what’s good for the rest of us
Monopolies are bad for everyone except their CEO and stockholders.
Silly question. Is Reddit still banning comments that say Lemmy?
I don’t have an account.
I heard that was highly community-dependent - the more high-profile a community the more likely for it to be removed.
Idk, I think there are also legitimate arguments for piefed !
What’s piefed? I looked at it and mostly saw lemmy instances.

It’s like Lemmy, but it has more features because the devs aren’t tankies and they actually do work instead of just denying genocides all day
