So it’s your problem. Isn’t it ?

Just read their privacy policy and tos.

Currently, nothing in Lemmy feels that addictive to me. Everything in Lemmy is essential for a social media platform to work efficiently.

Yeah

We already know this. It’s not just Microsoft; Google, Meta, and other big tech companies are also involved in similar practices.

Lemmy isn’t addictive; it’s a freedom-focused platform that’s easy to use and serves as a great alternative to Reddit, operating on the same principles. I believe that’s why so many people actively use Lemmy—it’s not about addiction at all.

I don’t believe that Bluesky, Mastodon, or Lemmy truly promote free speech. I haven’t used the other platforms mentioned here, so I can’t comment on their effectiveness regarding free speech. For me, the only place where I experience complete free speech is on my own website.
