Coming to Lemmy means losing some of the really well supported niche communities from Reddit of old and that was the biggest hit of leaving, but the site being such cancer now I wonder how well they are doing anyway.
Lemmy, once you’ve blocked 90% of the weird tankies, really does feel like Reddit from 10+ years ago in the comments. It’s just a shame due to its current small size how single minded the general feed often feels. Hopefully that improves
One issue with alternative smaller platforms can also be them becoming cesspools of users banned from the big platform. The first couple of Reddit alternatives quickly collected the racists and jailbait porn.
A viable alternative platform needs more than extremist niches.
Why do people still use reddit? why do people still use twitter? why are people using bluesky thinking it’ll be different??

It doesn’t have anywhere near enough of the weird transformation porn I like to be Reddit from 10 years ago
Be the change you want to see in the world! 😉
I’ve been around the internet basically since the internet and still learning new things every day…
Wtf is that lol
Drawn images of things like chicks having their booba get bigger because of magic or dudes turning into anthropomorphic horses… Stuff like that
And that’s just the tamer stuff.
I’m curious, what do you mean when you say “tankie”? It’s a word that’s used to mean so many different things these days

Drag can confirm, drag has never used a social media without algorithms. Unless talking through two cans and a string counts.
And while we’re at it, why the fuck is the water wet?
Water is wet?
Blue sky is different. No elon
Until some other fuckwit buys it out (my pessimism says they’ll never get around to making it truly federated).
Most social media has no Elon.
