Huh, when I clicked on your profile it says 0 posts…
Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore
MentalEdge@ani.social 1 year agoLike for real!! I was a semi-lurker on reddit. Posted a couple times a year…
I just passed 500 posts on Lemmy.

Read the bio. That’s not my main. This is.

I’ve found lemmy to be alot less hostile, don’t care about downvotes, but attacking people because of opinions doesn’t sound like a fun time to me

The absence of a running karma total is a surprisingly powerful difference. I do still look back at old posts, and it’s nice when there’s votes, but without the little number next to a name or when I mouse-over a profile, there’s no motivation to be the first in a thread to repost a cliche joke or to ragebait for fake internet points.

I think the “not having to be first” is what is so powerful.
I know that if I comment on a post from a few days ago on a populated community, I’ll likely at least get a reply from OP, if not a bunch of other people finding my comment and replying as well.
It’s like Lemmy is the nice, small-town version of Reddit (which is probably more similar to Gary Indiana).

That’s a bit cruel to Gary, Indiana, don’t you think?

I hated most of those cliche jokes. Here I am looking for real conversation only to be met with thousands of not witty low effort jokes.

There are some here too, I swear to god if I see one more, “Good bot” reply to a fucking bot account I may stoke out.

Opinions are fine. Being disingenuous/an asshole at the same time as having an opinion definitely provokes smackdowns, even on lemmy.

Same goes for 9gag but that site is different
