I don’t miss the dipshits, pun spammers, and smug power mods of reddit at all. I do miss their niche subs and smarter users. Like it or not, they do have some brainy folks peppered among the shit posters.
We have some good folks here, too. Just need more of them.
It’s a shame reddit has been dialing up the shit faucet slowly enough that most of their users don’t notice how awful it is now. They’ve grown accustomed to the poor quality of the content and weaponized greed of the owners.
In all honesty, when I joined Reddit right after digg went to shit. It was amazing. Reddit was great, 3rd party apps were welcome, their interface was straightforward, and they had none of those NFT gold shit.
Oh they’re here too. They’re not causing too much drama because there’s not enough going on, but they’re here. Some of them are admins of certain instances.
The ones that aren’t here yet will eventually find their way here when Lemmy continues to grow. And the most concerning thing about that is how many more tools Lemmy is providing them to fuck with users.

It just went downhill.

At least on Reddit, mods couldn’t see votes. Lemmy actually just made it easier for them.
Going back to /r/all on reddit now just pure trash. It’s unbelievable how badly it’s declined, very recently.
I wonder how much of it is just bots and karma farmers pretending to talk to each other. It’s really awful.
