Comment on Watch me go Reddit

  Because reddit had more niche communities that I was into and it’s way more populated which is to be expected, but I also love how open this website seems so far, my main gripe with Reddit is that if you are a new account you are pretty much fucked, I’m not against moderation but Reddit overdoes it.

    There are some subreddits that I miss but there’s also usually a lot less bullshit here. The giant “fuck you” to third party app developers was the last straw for me. I wasn’t even in that group but that pretty much told me where reddit was heading and I wasn’t willing to go along with it. But, there’s probably quite a few people here who still use Reddit. Either way, welcome!

    Why not start your own niche community and then share it here?

      I’m not against it, It’s just I used reddit for everything regarding news and I overral liked engaging with posts but it’s always like I had this fear that if I say something wrong I would get banned by a moderator or something.

        Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you’re reading in a real way.

        Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.

        Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.

      There isn’t enough of a population to get a good small niche community going. Also it can be difficult to find the community in the first place. The fight stick community on Reddit is very active. On Lemmy it has been around for a while and remains completely dead.

    I feel like we’re slowly growing here, lots of very rich communities have been built now.

    But yes, my city and hobby communities are still a ghost town. We don’t have critical mass on lots of stuff yet.

      Give it time. If there is as much a problem at Reddit as it seems, its only a matter of time before more and more folks make their way here.

      One of my co-workers that plays No Man’s Sky was looking for help on the NMS sub and was shocked to find as many deleted posts as he did.

      Something is DEFINITELY up there…

        The video game subs are 100% cesspools of negativity now.

        Reddit has a huge whiner bias problem.

    Why not make those niche communities here?
