Idk y’all, I see a lot of angry posts about Reddit still because of being essentially forced out, however!
I feel like lemmy is actually really amazing and has a lot of smart discussion happening instead of the constant circlejerking that happens on Reddit. I also feel the community here is a lot more hopeful/helpful! That’s all, thanks for reading 😄
The question that remains to be answered is, are the normies that moved to Reddit responsible for what it became? Or was it a product of the corporate profit driven manipulation of the platform? Time will tell..
I was just trying to be positive instead of the usual Reddit hate we see. It feels like most comments about Reddit were mad they had to be here on lemmy, but lemmy is legitimately a great place. Wasn’t trying to circle jerk sorry
There is no need to apologize. I was just making a joke. In fact, unless you deliberately insult someone or in some rare edge cases I'd argue there is never a need to apologize for something you write.
Yeh, but you KNOW that's next on the chopping block.
Not sure if I'd support old.reddit for premium only users. I'm really enjoying Lemmy, and the genuine conversations that are happening
Same :) i enjoy the cozier feeling that many of the threads have. And the local threads of people on my instance really give a feeling of community since i belong to a smaller one.
It’s really fascinating watching something new grow
I’m not entirely sold on the fediverse as a feasible, long-term solution - there are definitely going to be hard truths, disappointments and lessons along the way… but I’m up for the ride, come what may
The fediverse is definitely not perfect, but centralized monopoly social networks are extremely far from perfect too. In comparison, with all the growing pains it still might be better than the alternative
I was really upset about the poor performance of .world and how Beehaw had good performance but defederated, but the devs have fixed .world performance overnight and I haven’t had any issues yet today.
Overall I’m happy with how it turned out for me joining .world :)
It takes people about two weeks to get inconsolably nauseated from seeing people bitch about their ex. We're not even halfway for the most recent group.
Yeah Lemmy has totally exceeded my expectations, I thought leaving Reddit would be a compromise for the sake of privacy, but I was so glad to be proven wrong
Yeah, it's got a different atmosphere here, a bit more chilled and friendly. I miss the bigger community of Reddit but it reached its peak a while back; this place has a lot of exciting potential
Being angry at the users, or powerusers, who left reddit is like being angry at ants for fleeing their home after a flood for higher ground and starting over somewhere else. It ain't the ants that decided to drool all over its hill/colony before even IPO'ing all the work they had done.
Amazing to me that it was Spez that screwed reddit over BEFORE selling reddit out. Usually people like Spez are at least smart enough to keep things running smoothly up and until they sell it off - but I am sure the potential investors will appreciate the depreciated value of reddit. 😂
If I could award some sort of idiot currency or lemmy currency to mock Spez I would. The guy really takes the cake on being inept at what would have kept Reddit highly valued imo in the short, mid and long term.
They are pretty clear with their intentions to disregard the opinions of the users who produce all the content and generally give it a reason to exist. And mods who did countless hours of work for free probably getting it worse.. It's never getting better.
A real shame but it just shows that its a model that will fail at some point. As long as sombody can make a load of money by advertising and selling stuff a community makes than it'll go that way (see all previous times it's happened).
