      Have you gone back to reddit since this summer? It’s noticeably worse. If we got the bad side, the other side is just as bad or worse.

      Oh trust me, as someone who’s been on many reddit alternatives, we did absolutely not get the bad side of reddit. Maybe the ugly side, at worst

      The overwhelming majority of users who came from Reddit seem to be ~19 and lack any degree of EQ, for better and worse. It’s homogenized into the old Reddit crowd but slightly more progressive, which has perplexed me. I still prefer it here, it’s an objectively better time sink than Reddit, especially since they switched their algorithm to cater to fake stories and celebrities. When AITA comes here, I’m moving to mastodon.

      Edit: you’re welcome to downvote, it doesn’t change the very noticeable inability to recognize “stallman was right”

        The fake stories on reddit were the absolute worst. The #1 reason I stay on lemmy is because I believe most of the stories here and the comments seem like real people.

        Why on earth would someone spend their time reading fake stories that pretend to be real, and then have full discussions with bots.
