What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy? - Lemmy.ca

It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

Probably the federated nature of it… i know the whole point of it is decentralisation but with the likes of reddit or discord at least you could attempt to have all your content salted or deleted (whether it actually is is another story) from a single server. Knowing anything and everything you post on here will stick around forever no matter what you do, by design, makes me uneasy.

I agree. My politics, thoughts and feelings change over time and it makes me uncomfortable to be potentially judged for things later and not be able to delete that isn’t ideal, even if I’m the only one reading it.

What I don’t like is that so much content is spread between so many different places, this along with the complexity of it all as a new user is intimidating.

I think we’re asking a lot of non technically minded people to use the fediverse and that is hurting adoption.

Having said that something I like about it is that it’s smaller and people actually “communicate” with me here which isn’t really a thing on reddit anymore.

Things don’t stick around forever here. If a user gets deleted or banned from their home instance, all their posts are gone. Deleted instances also take their content with them.
