With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you're still on there, this is a chance to educate others about the fediverse and alternatives.

I always see a lot of pushback against any alternatives proposed on reddit itself. There's a pretty strong, probably multi-faceted resistance any time anything new is mentioned. So, it's good to keep in mind you will face that, and be prepared with some patience and counter-arguments.

Unfortunately, the shadow of Voat still looms over this conversation. Redditors are wary of platforms that have a perceived radical userbase, and Lemmy as a whole has been painted as far left.
