People saying how it's no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.
Yeah it does seem a bit more pessimistic than reddit to me, I wonder why it is
Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.
What subs were/are you on? I mostly only go back for my region-specific meme sub, so I guess it makes sense that there is less negativity. Plus sometimes searches with site:reddit.com
I don’t go on Reddit anymore except when some Google search brings me there hehe. I used to be mostly on gaming, tech and programming subreddits, plus a handful of hobby related subs like /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/fountainpens, and so on. Very little shitposting/memeing going on, admittedly.
I’m too lazy to type site:reddit.com, I just append “Reddit” at the end of my search query lol
Haha I set up
sr
as a macro for that to make typing it fasterI’m also too lazy to setup macros outside my editor 🙈
I feel like they're a small minority of people who came here expecting it to be exactly like Reddit, but "better" without any clear understanding of what that actually means lol
