…for now.
Once you get critical mass it’s a race to the dumbest post.
I am trying to get there, but so far I don’t seem to be dumb enough. Please kick me when I make it.
I’m sorry, I’ll try to be more violent.
I beg to differ, but if you wish so I may try to throw you that chair, sir.
This is the spirit!
so far I’ve experienced a ton of whataboutism and really sus views/devils advocate type shit on here (lemme.ml) that makes me not want to browse. is there a better alternative that’s not saying “why can’t we all just have our own opinion ❤️🌈” on shit like genocide and anti LGBT culture
There are other lemmy instances which might work better for you than lemmy.ml in that case.
I believe the beehaw.org instance might fit that description, would recommend checking them out.
As long as you don’t go into any post regarding the Ukraine war…
This is actually my second time on Lemmy, I tried it like 6 months ago and it was sooo different I couldn’t handle all the tankposts
I’ve read the term ‘tankie’ more in one week on Lemmy than in the rest of my life combined.
It seems to be getting better though, lemmygrad was the largest instance of Lemmy for a long time and I couldn’t even get a word in regarding Ukraine without all 10 users downvoting me lol
It’s what happens with a small community. Interaction and discussion VS lowest common denominator humour for mass votes.
We all want Lemmy to succeed, but that only means that it’ll turn back into reddit. It’s the natural cycle of social media.
Come a day, we’ll all end up back on Fark and the cycle will repeat itself.
I told my gf, who I met on Reddit, about migrating from Fark to Reddit, and I’m trying to get her to join us here… but now she went and is exploring Fark, which is somehow still around, and I’m like you’re doing it wrong!
Possibly but at least Lemmy is federated.
heh that’s a good one
Yeah, for now…
Reddit has excessive bureaucracy and modbots who shadowban you for reasons as stupid as posting in a certain sub once despite never participating in the sub you got banned from.
Absolutely not. But I must say that I don’t miss the toxicity at all. Being on the (liberal?) Fediverse has done wonders for my mental health. There’s little tolerance for bullshittery and that helps foster a stronger sense of real community for a greater cause in my mind.
So far the people who were most likely to jump ship on reddit were those who were the most fed up with what reddit has become lately.
I just had my 10th cakeday on reddit about a month ago and I’ve seen a steep decline in quality for both posts and interactions for the last 4-5 years, with it accelerating in the last year or so. Those that never tried old reddit on desktop or a 3rd party app see no reason to jump ship for another platform, and a large portion of the rude commenters and trolls showed up after the new layout was default and reddit had their own official app in the app stores.
Reddit just filtered out most of the people that made the site what it was in the first place. If it was turning into a shithole before all the people that actually care about the site left, just imagine what it will be like in the coming weeks now that we’re gone.If it was turning into a shithole before all the people that actually care about the site left, just imagine what it will be like in the coming weeks now that we’re gone.
