As someone who was on Reddit before the Dig migration. Lemmy definitely has a similar feel to old old Reddit. We’ll see if it changes. It’s still definitely a culture shock though. Reddit being so heavily right-wing aligned. And lemmy being the opposite.
The sheer amount of dismissiveness towards the propaganda brigades and the moderators with an agenda was pathetic. I messaged admins numerous times and the universal response was shrugging their shoulders. It’s so dumb.
It’s definitely a challenge for the future here on lemmy. But with it’s decentralized nature and ability to Confederate I think it at least as some better Baseline tools. Though it also has some pretty glaring flaws that could be used as a fire hose of falsehood in the short term.
That’s good to hear. I had my 7 year reddit account permanently suspended for sarcastically making fun of the bot infestation, so fuck them.
Yeah, it’s different but it feels like an ‘older’ forum which is definitely nice!

Yeah we’ll see how it goes. So far it’s been fun. I wish there were a few niche activities that I like that were more active here but that’s okay!
