I'm not speaking of socialist revolution. There's a whole spectrum between licking boots and socialist revolution that is mostly ignored online. There are many ways people can threaten power, even just using Lemmy instead of Reddit. Here the conversations and our attention are not directed by profit and power seeking interests.

I agree Lemmy is better. But, can you really be sure that every post and comment on this platform is made by a real person with no hidden agenda?

No, never, but that's not necessarily the biggest problem. I think the algorithms were a bigger problem, and we don't have that here (at least not secret profit driven ones).
