Definitely Facebook’s policy of demanding real world names and crushing down on anonymity and pseudonyms, around 2014: https://www.protocol.com/policy/anonymity-real-names-jeff-kosseff#toggle-gdpr

Yes, started using it about a year ago and it’s amazing how much easier it is.

Yes, a very good article. I have the feeling I have another peace of the puzzle now.

Same here - only Reddit results.

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

In my experience, lemmy.ml and feddit.de (for example) are in more left wing then milquetoast progressives. It’s faszinating and refreshing, and I don’t mind people speaking their minds. But I prefer moderate, too.

I would rather say that the average Redditor is milquetoast progressive. Heck, I start to really enjoy this phrase 😉.
