Content is not all the same, there's quality content and there's shitposting.
"facebook content" is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.
I don't want shitposting burying quality content here, that's what will happen if we don't do anything about it.
Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don't give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don't want ANY of that happening to lemmy.
I agree with all of this.
