Lemmy is a social media network that works just like Reddit - but is decentralised.
Reddit is a proprietary closed source platform that strictly enforces how you interface with said platform and ls owned by a publicly traded corporation who are currently trying to speedrun the enshitification (or monetization) of their platform in order to increase shareholder value.
Lemmy is an open source project that lets everyday people run and control their own platforms on servers across the globe, who connect with each other to share users and content through the ActivityPub and ActivityStream protocols, which are public web standards recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The big difference being that major proprietary social platforms run by multinationals have a tendency to monopolize, control, exploit and otherwise abuse their users, where as Lemmy let’s pretty much anyone be a vendor of a social media platform - which doesn’t eliminate abusive platform holders, moderators or users - but you can block any of these if you’d like, in effect giving you control over what ends up in your feed and how you access that feed, since it’s all done through a public protocol and not some proprietary client or API.
Other than that, all social media platforms are information sources, disinformation sources, entertainment hubs and voids we scream into in the hopes that somebody hears us. They are a mirror, a megaphone, a vice and a boon.
But it’s better to use a social media platform run by everyday people rather than the goddamn Epstein class. Tell your friends; make your own social media by switching to the Social Web (also known as the “Fediverse”) in order to force Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and Threads into obsolescence - shareholders be damned.

As an addendum and a sidenote:
This is a call to arms for statisticians, sociologists, criminologists and journalists to figure out the metrics necessary to create a new unit of measurement .
What needs to be taken into account is ofc the burden of proof, but also how gamed a judiciary is by how it gives slaps on the wrist for a certain immoral, unethical and illegal activity that elites keep getting away with, to create a rating system, a scoring system, where you want the score to ideally be a perfect 0.
The working acronym and title of this unit is CFPM, which is short for Children Fucked Per Month and will be used to score companies, organizations, government bodies, political parties, products, services, platforms, etc.
The idea is that if even a single “nubile princess” gets defiled as a result of doing business (even if it was decades ago), your brand, name, party, product, service - whatever - will have a rating with exponentially increasing decimals over the years.
This is because even having a CFPM rating of 0,000000000000000001 is too damned much and should have your brand, service, government body, political parties, etc - boicoted, sanctioned, embargoed, dissolved and publicly shamed, forever.
What do you think Reddits CFPM rating would be?
How quickly do you think this type of comment would be nuked from Reddit, also resulting in the deletion of my account? The Epstein class don’t like it when you make fun of their moral and ethical degeneracy, y’know…
Yup, this comment seems quite extreme. I’m quite close with the idea “open source is better” but Reddit itself was similar to Lemmy. Good idea. Horrible evolution.

Complex and preachy, spoken like a true Lemmyor.
