Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
I created an account on .ml when it was the largest instance and basically no one except FOSS nerds knew about it so it had basically no activity. At some point, I vaguely remember certain leftist subreddits getting banned by Reddit admin which flooded Lemmygrad and Hexbear, then Reddit started doing stupid shit for everyone else who flooded .world and various other instances. So it changed a lot lol. (Personally I started browsing here often when the Reddit mass migrations started happening, first on my own instance, then .world, then .dbzer0, then here again.)
