    Not every subreddit is turning fascist. It’s still a lifeline for a lot of people with certain health issues, or an evergreen repository for niche hobbies that is more complete than anywhere else with active communities that are helpful to newbies.

    It’s a huge ask getting people that are getting legitimate help and advice over there to move to a Lemmy community that lacks all the historical information and enough activity that helps people in a timely way.

    I know because I’m asking overthere. And a lot of people stuck there aren’t closet conservatives, trolls, or bots, they are sharing protest hat patterns, talking about how to get legal treatments that might get banned, and providing information and resources on how to get urgent location-banned medical care, i.e. abortions.

      Even more reason to leave. I understand the hurdles but none of that is remotely safe to discuss on reddit anymore.
