Not one particular reason in general, just the site’s atmosphere in general was getting tiresome. Everyone trying to be the funniest person in the room to get the most upvotes. There’s a place for that, and I still use Reddit from time to time, but for learning about current affairs Lemmy is much preferable.

I would argue a major difference between misinformation on some place like Lemmy and misinformation on Twitter, is that Musk as owner of Twitter is amplifying this misinformation. Elon Musk frequently replies to people spreading misinfo and shouts out their accounts.
