I just wish more people were willing to try out the alternatives (lemmy.ca)

I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

This is not entirely true, at least as phrased here.

Our quality of discussions is way higher, in our opinions, even though yes their topic range is so much more narrow (Star Trek, Linux, various Fediverse aspects, etc.).
There are no ads, for some that is VERY noteworthy, especially those less technically inclined.
As others mentioned the apps here blow the official Reddit one out of the water.
(Edit: there is much more, I did not intend this listing to necessarily be comprehensive, e.g. one that I see people mentioning is a focus on user privacy.)

So all of this is not "nothing", even though yes it is also not "everything" either.

The quality of discussion is the exact same. Lemmy isn't more elite, hell I'd say an average user is more angry in general than on reddit. As for the rest - a regular (non-power) user doesn't care. The privacy angle is bogus - you can get everything you want by hosting your own instance. Even more so - things that should be private, aren't (reports, upvotes). The only "good" thing is the modlog, but that is also debatable.
