  It’s still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.

    It’s the normal amount of suck that is inherent and not the turbo suck that corpos intentionally cultivate for profit

    Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.

    And at least the average Lemmy user isn’t a complete fucking idiot.

    I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

      I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg’s less glamorous knockoff, people didn’t comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then it very much wasn’t

        I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.

        2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg’s suicide, it was the beginning of the end.

        And now he’s is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don’t fuck it up this time, Kevin.

  Yeah I was bored the other day and opened up a niche reddit community and I was just floored at how positive everyone was versus the same community here. But I digress I imagine it’s going to be phases and I’ll continue to try and be positive.

  you wouldnt get randomly banned here as you would on reddit, which i found out from the shadowban sub, even looking at your account wrong can trigger a ban.
