Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.

I'm hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don't love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren't out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.

As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.

I think the point of Twitter is to follow famous people. Since there are very few famous people on Mastodon it makes it less useful. They need celebrities and media platforms to make the switch. That's not really a problem for a link aggregator like Lemmy. I think this site has a bright future.

Lots of people will hate me for this take but the best part of Twitter was its recommendation algorithm specifically between 2018-2021ish. The ability for everyone to meme about the same thing in the span of a few hours was fantastic and hilarious. I generally didn't give a shit about following famous people and have only been on Twitter for the meme culture.

Nowadays the algorithm is TERRIBLE though. I personally can't see myself moving to mastodon because I don't care about individual people though.

Mostly I used Twitter to follow specific journalists and a few famous people. Mostly sports stuff. There isn't much sports media on Mastodon unfortunately.
