Currently Stack Exchange is 100 times better than lemmy in non technical areas

Yeah stack exchange is proprietary, but community there extremely care about quality. on the other hand, it is common in Lemmy to post one liners, poorly reflected, unrelated, irrational good feel answers. And it is filled with extremist crazies & bad faith actors. Also keep in mind, when contributing to federation platform that you are also giving more voice to extremist crazies, but IG it can be overlooked if other platforms are censoring basic freedom of speech.
