Apart from being hit with what seemed like random ban hammers, that was one of the reasons I left Reddit.
It just seems so “the same”. Every comment chain is filled with the same predictable comments and they’re all predictably commenting on the same predictable content.
I hear lots of Lemmy newbies saying they stay on Reddit because of the user base in their niche communities. I hope those same people post or comment here a little bit in their niche instances before buggering off back to the black hole of bots.
I love that I can spot individual users again without tagging them.
I love the guy who uses that ye olde symbol instead of typing the letters “th”
This place is awesome because of the limited user base IMO. Very rarely have I been met with negativity here.
I joined Reddit in 2008. I saw it devolve year by year. When it got big enough, it attracted the attention of the capital. Then it quickly became a propaganda mouthpiece of the money. I had big subs on there, now I’m aggressively permabanned, every single account I’ve ever had, easily a hundred of them. If you don’t play along, you don’t belong, it’s become just another controlled media outlet. It will happen here too, as soon as it becomes big enough to become a problem, they will find a way. It’s extremely scary.
Who could have imagined the Illuminati were a bunch of pimplefaced billionaire nerds acting all out in the open.
