What do you still use reddit for?

Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?

I still use Reddit for niche and polarizing topics. Lemmy feels like groupthink to me, especially about politics — it’s always “Ukraine good, Russia bad” and “Palestine good, Israel bad.” I like hearing both sides, but divergent opinions get smothered here. Imagine an average Christian joining the Fediverse: they’d have to leave many of their beliefs at the door and adapt to the herd, or risk being unwelcome, having posts downvoted to oblivion, and being told to leave. It’s already happened to me a few times with opinions that aren’t welcomed here. It’s a far cry from what Lemmy’s decentralization promised.

I've been a Christian for over 30 years, and I've never felt this at all. What are you seeing that I'm not?

Atheism 1.45K users / month, Religion 9 users / month, religion isn't gonna fly on Lemmy. You may be as christian as you like but how many times have you been able to talk religion here. And the same goes for any topics that goes against the current group think.
