Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and “violence” banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
when they allow so much astroturfing from the right, and anything remotely try to use a neutral word to describe a controversial ones, eg demographic instead of the POC actual race, will get you banned.
Unfortunately (?) on Reddit a lot of the comments are from bots - not even just the “everyone I do not agree with must be a bot” mantra but demonstrably as in it is word for word repeated from a duplicate post made often years in the past, presumably resurrected to increase “engagement” and therefore profits.
^THIS. And my ax. I also choose this guy’s wife! => all counts as “engagement” from the perspective of an advertiser.
And the humans are toxic AF. I resolved to leave Reddit regardless of whether I came here or not, bc I didn’t like what all that argumentation was turning me into. Conversations are just flat better here.
Truthfully I miss some of the toxicity 😁 it’s so, so easy to win arguments with random strangers, so much wrong stupidity. I know some of them are not real. Yes lol this is much healthier.
To fill that niche, there’s always Hexbear, or diluted 1000-fold, the still Alt-Left lemmy.ml instance.
I don’t begrudge someone being “stupid” or ignorant, I begrudge them being obstinate and willfully remaining that way, especially when it crosses over into taking away my own freedoms.
I didn’t realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.
