Reddit is a bit different because (despite Reddit’s best efforts) it was never about your personal account it was a place to read and discuss interesting things. People arent on Reddit (or Lemmy for that matter) to follow /u/someRandomInfluencer. That significantly lowers the barrier to leaving. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram are all more person centric and so leaving them means leaving behind individuals that you want to be following and so makes it significantly harder.
It’s fucking wild reading this from a lemmy instance full of reddit refugees
