      Yep, you can’t control Lemmy, because it’s free, open source, and decentralized.

      The only way to control it is to make its users go away, and whaddya know, we’re still growing!

          That… doesn’t really answer the question. So it’s relatively easy to leave, but how would you know that you needed to in the first place?

          If the voting of posts on an instance were being manipulated, or the visibility of certain sources or users, or if commercial influences were affecting administrative decisions or moderator behavior, how would you know?

          How do you discover that you are in a bubble? That the information being presented to you is intentionally skewed in order to project a narrative?

          How do you exit Plato’s cave if you don’t know that you are in it?

            I think there’s a - what are sub reddits called here - that specifically calls out bad mod or other behavior since mod behavior is all publicly available.

          easy on lemmy to leave a bad instance

          Too damn easy! That’s also why I have a couple alts lying around in case I need to jump ship again.
