Comment on Lemmy is slowly dying while Reddit thriving

  at least the blocking system doesn’t silence you here. you can still say whatever you want in any thread you want.

  That is quite nice. And how Reddit used to behave before they got stupid.

  However one thing I’ve learned is that when someone deletes their post it doesn’t put a “deleted” placeholder in, it completely removes it. So then if someone goes through your comment history they just see you saying something apropos of nothing, which can be missing important context.

  I’m thinking about saying goodbye to this site. It’s not been a good few days mentally for me, and my usual retreat (the internet) has just made it worse. I miss the glory days before Reddit became shit.
