I liked it briefly when I logged in but as someone on reddit pointed out, the owner encouraged others to astroturf bringing new users to the site which feels kinda icky given the way other users have also bashed lemmy alongside it.

I use it sometimes. Apart from the non-federated aspect, there is a cultish mentality in some users there, which I find very annoying.

I’m done with closed platforms under the control of corporations. I’m done with erratic CEOs controlling my social media experience. If it’s not federated, I’m not interested.
