The active user base is trending slightly downward as a few instances have shut down recently but the amount of registered users is steadily increasing so those trends will reverse as the largest barrier to entry is just knowing about Lemmy and creating an account.
Both platforms are full of extremists and mod & admin abuse. Lemmy is just way more empty and lacking a lot of communities but coming with kinda most of the same issues that already existed on Reddit.
I still believe that mailing lists are the best technology which has been both decentralized in the meaning of the identity ( which you can verify with gpg ) and storage. While I like many other things like simplex, lemmy, to some extent matrix and so on, still mailing lists rock nowadays ( note: please consider 2 criterias i meant - distributed identity and storage)
It's a lot easier to complain than it is to make the world a better place. And before you think that that's a complete agreement with your reasoning, note that 1) Your comment is also an easy complaint and 2) Does this mean that people who can't produce quality content shouldn't be allowed to complain when there's a lack of it?
The big irony here is that OP actually went to the effort of creating content, even if it was "only" a complaint.
