It’s actually really difficult to get your friends to switch over little things like ‘being a spy platform’, and ‘leaking tens of thousands of users private information’.

It’s a mainstream platform, so many non-Lemmy people are still there.
Besides, it’s always worth the praise when someone makes good technical decisions that benefit users.

To manage my community more easly and interact with many others aswell plus every friend of my uses it.
There is no alternative currently that offers a granular permission system like discord’s, voice chat and streaming that doesn’t also suck in other aspects

Things I want are held hostage on Discord. If I want to play Motorstorm online, I look at the fan server channel and it has real time lobby stats and chat rooms to get some games going. Just an example. My friends usually use Steam for voice chat.

Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware I had to forego all traditional social media applications to use federated ones. 🙄

Someone at work with much more political power, and much less knowledge of how dangerous surveillance capitalism is, insists on using it 'cause they use it all the time and it’s functional.

People probably voice chat with their friends, I don’t think Lemmy has that feature?

I also use it for socializing. Basically a collection of giant instant messaging groups.
