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 😄
I’m having the same experience on Lemmy that I had on reddit 13 years ago. It’s fucking awesome
I actually said the same a few days ago. Lemmy now is how reddit was back in the beginning.
depending on how you see it, that’s nice and cool or dark
I’ve noticed a lot of the same circlejerks in political channels. I don’t dislike Lemmy. If Reddit caved and RiF came back tomorrow, I’d probably still switch back. But the longer I’m away from Reddit, the less likely I am to return.
You can actually use rif still, as well as a few other reddit apps that officially closed shop, but it’s not gonna last forever.
Personally, I’m sticking around (via rif), partly to keep up with a few communities I care about, and partly to watch reddit burn as they keep fueling the fire.
Weirdly, I increasingly feel like I won’t even miss reddit all that much. More precisely, I already missed what reddit once was.
I’ve been using reddit for over 12 years. That site is a steaming pile of shit compared to what it once was. I’m done.
