Misinformation about lemmy flooding the community (possibly reddit trying to prevent people from leaving)
old.reddit.com
I think there's a team of people intentionally spreading lemmy misinformation. I think reddit is trying to get people not to switch from this...

Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

    I really don’t understand the benefit of being federated

    The benefit is to prevent this from being the next Reddit. Being a nonprofit doesn’t really guarantee anything in the long term. OpenAI was a non profit and now it isn’t… Rather than trust a single entity to not abuse its power, federation aims to not give any entity all the power to begin with.

    It also solves practical problems. Which single benign entity would pay for the servers and internet connections to become the new reddit? I don’t think there is one.
