Every time I've gone back to Reddit, I've just seen the local communities I used to like getting incredibly right wing with the increasing number of wolf whistles in the comments. Or pro weed nonsense
And honestly, it just felt like doom scrolling and a waste of time. It has grown now to the point it's just basically the Facebook crowd.
Lemmy is sufficiently busy, and much better quality. And there is more to think about when reading comments
Reddit allowed their communities to get shifted to the poles. My local community is the exact opposite, it's so far to the left that it's painful. The extreme poles of either side of the political spectrum are just as painful as the other.
Here we just chat. Left right square circle triangle, doesn't seem to matter. The threads and interactions on here seem to be with people that are most like me, and not so much with the Ultra Hardcore MAGA bros, or the basement dweller 40 year old virgin social assistance crowd. Can't say the same for Reddit. Glad they have a place too, hopefully they stay there.
