While the daily thread is awesome, has anyone noticed how the rest of Lemmy feels like reddit years ago? Way less anger and arguments about who is technically correct etc… It’s just more fun.
I browsed popular on reddit today and suddenly loads of them are rateme or amiugly etc… that were never in that feed full of incel neck beard reply’s. I like it here :)
Some of us remember when Reddit was a lot like this. Smaller, a bit more techie, lots more laid back than it is today.
I'm also a little scared that this will end up like Reddit. Not totally scared, because there's no single company trying to maximise your engagement with rage bait and dopamine. But a little scared what 100 million users would bring.
Feels like the circle of life.
Feels a bit mIRC spec. Not the look but the vibe of the thing. Happy memories.
Felt like reddit today when I was called unhinged and blocked people lol. But it's definitely a much nicer vibe overall.
Why can’t people just be nice to each other? :(
Because some people are either know it alls or arseholes I think.
Yup. Plenty of those types around.
Anyway sorry it made you feel that way and that you had to deal with those types of people.
