Comment on Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

  I get its a bit of self deprecating humor but in seriousness it shows the exact opposite IMO. Going with the flow would be continuing to consume reddit slop no matter how awful the website gets, no matter how much content is baked by a bot, no matter how many more ads they show you just to comment or post. “Lol I know its getting shittier but im addicted and unwilling to change my habits to represent my backbone. Please daddy just let me continue posting I promise ill be good little content monkey and keep your shareholder numbers up this quarter.”

  Good on you for being a trendsetter, Echofox.

    Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.

    Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.

    Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.

    I’m definitely liking it here though!

      Oh baby, if you wanted to get away from adversarial sarcastic comments you sure came to the right place.

        Internet is going to be internet, but this place is like 10% as adversarial as reddit from my experience so far. I haven’t even had anybody DM me to end myself yet. At reddit I got those for saying my favorite game was Total Annihilation.
