I joined Lemmy for the same reason. I'm not ok with the way social media companies use recommendation algorithms to increase engagement and make their users feel shitty. Since Reddit is going public soon, I'm sure they're going to start coming up with new, manipulative ways to increase engagement, which means it's time to jump ship.
