The next two weeks, to a month... is going to be a VERY INTERESTING time for reddit.
Knock on wood, lemmy is going strong, and I have been enjoying the content, and conversations here much better than I have been on reddit.
I had heard of lemmy but not checked it out until this debacle made it clear that jettisoning reddit was the right move. It's been a lot of fun so far. It reminds me of the earlier days of the internet, which is a breath of fresh air.
The culture on reddit has been clicheed for a long time now. At least people stopped saying 'the narwhal bacons at midnight', and 'and my axe' is only ironic now, but the pun threads, the Ouija chains, the silly automods and bots - I had enough of that. Also it's absurd to try to comment on a post that has 6,500 or whatever replies already.
What would make me hard quit a thread was when somebody would comment a quote from a show that was actually relevant & funny to the topic at hand, but then it would create an endless chain of reply comments of completely irrelevant quotes from the same show. Like, ok we get it, you got the joke, please stop.
Could they BE any more annoying!
Lemmy is capturing some of the early energy that Reddit once had. It’s cool.
True and im gonna be happily settling in on here watching the drama.
