The community has "reopened" since this post yesterday but all content that exists on the sub up to one month ago has been removed. The sub is now totally inactive as you can't make new posts.
Reddit is cancer anyways.
Truly cannot imagine how much worse off I'd be mentally if I stayed on Reddit the last few years.
I felt this so hard. I can’t believe I spent hours sucked into that hateful void.

Left reddit, got my life back. Spez did me a solid here
Not having an algorithm is nice, plus people here are generally nicer and less tolerant of shitty behavior.
I dunno. There are parts of Lemmy which are just as bad (if not worse).
I left once because of it. I'm mainly back because I'm hoping lemmy can replace reddit ultimately and we can start to rely on something totally decentralized. Not super impressed by spez either
For all its flaws, on Lemmy there is at least the option of picking a different instance if you don't like the way your current one is managed. I also like that karma isn't a thing here because in my opinion it is one of the main reasons Reddit is such an echo chamber.
This.
Spoiler
I do not miss those low effort, repetitive, highly upvoted content. People there cannot just upvote and move on, they have to post some wasteful content and whereas it was one downvoted into oblivion, that changed long long ago. I have an ancient Reddit account and over a decade ago, the place became unrecognizable from those early days of people just want to share and talked about cool shit.The conservative, ml and the hex bear you might want to avoid
Not only. Oddly enough, even one of the admins on beehaw acted completely weird. And there is definitely a few more subs where people act extremist and weird
Also, it got to the point that there were people openly calling for killing specific people.
That being said, long term there is definitely more promise which is why I gave it another try
Almost all parts of Lemmy are too radical, and it has become a tool for further radicalisation by external forces.
We have API access and no spez, so that's still better than reddit in my book.
can you provide some evidence?
I doubt admins will ever release some, since theyre ml enthusiasts.
They love whats happening here and support it.
I saw it happening on reddit almost 10 years ago, people laughed at me. Now I see it here and people laugh at me.
so you are making claims that you can't support

Do you deny this is what we see on Lemmy?
Do you deny that admins are Supporting dictators? (Hint, just Look at their public profiles)
Lemmy is easy game, you need less than 100 accounts to dictate discourse, and if admins close their eyes, they can roam free.
this is posturing and conjecture.
what do you think support means?
unless this study covers Lemmy, yes.
Too radical for you is what you mean.
Citation needed.
Extremism is brain rot. It has nothing to do with me.
It's the same mechanics that make people join cults. It's what got people to follow trump.
Divide and conquer. Youre being played by the same guys that play magas, and you're supposed to turn violent.
I agree with you. Lemmy is quickly turning into a place where you can watch the left eat itself the same way the right did. And I absolutely believe this place is already severely infiltrated by bad faith actors.
you can leave
🥱
