The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.
If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.
One common complaint I’ve seen with Reddit is the negativity. I’m really hoping that the freshness of Lemmy allows the opportunity for a more positive environment.
Maybe the slight difficulty of joining a Lemmy instance will keep more negative folks away, too.
