Comment on Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up
Shea@lemmy.world 11 months agoReddit got worse and worse and worse and worse over the years. I was there since 2012 and I watched it steadily get filled with more and more toxic uninteresting idiots. I used to be able to have an actual discussion with other adults and now it feels like “summer Reddit” never ever ended. This place feels like old Reddit to me

100%. It happened slowly and collisions with idiots tended to increase imperceptibly over time. Eventually I forgot what it was like to have a polite conversation and my own comments became more negative and toxic. The site split on sectarian lines and the discourse has been distorted by the mitigations of hate speech, shadow bans, auto-moderation, etc.
It’s fitting that this hulking cesspit has been bought and paid for by a corporation, they are a perfect match.
