Comment on Reddit brings back its old award system — ‘we messed up’
db2@lemmy.world 1 month agoI won’t. They’d have to fire Steve with no golden parachute, then maybe.
I don’t really care how much Steve gets out of it, I just want a not-terrible platform. So I’m cool with a golden parachute if that’s what it takes to get rid of him and get someone better for the platform.
That’s not happening though, so I’ll just avoid the platform.
I don’t mind him having golden parachute- it is heavier and most likely won’t open.

Just let things die is my opinion. It’s much nicer here.

Nicer in many ways but also less active. I find myself posting a shit ton more just to make the activity I want to see. I made probably less than 50 posts on Reddit in my 11ish years before I left. Now I make that many every 48 hours

Same.
I’m not a huge fan of lemmy, but I do like it better than what Reddit has become. If I had to pick today’s lemmy or Reddit from 5-ish years ago, I’d go with Reddit every time. But that’s not the options in front of me, so I stick with lemmy.

Yea, I just wish more niche communities would come to Lemmy, but most of the interesting ones are actively not tech savvy en mass, and so are lucky to figure out reddit I guess. Or Discord maybe, which sucks as a reddit replacement.

Lemmy might be less active but doesn’t make you feel like every contribution is rewarding someone who actively insulted and disrespected you and ruined something you used to enjoy. Big plus.

I actually prefer Lemmy because it’s less active. I browse Lemmy’s version of r/All and I have more than enough content to keep me entertained for hours. Plus, when I find a popular thread, I can actually contribute to it and my comments aren’t buried under 10K other comments within a few hours. I feel like I can actually communicate with the community here, instead of shouting into the void like on Reddit.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Yup. On reddit, if you stumbled on a 13 hours old thread, commenting was just sending a bottle in the void.
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Yeah, but I know your username. Because you’re the person posting all that stuff I read. So, thanks ;)

Agreed, Lemmy feels like “the old net” in the most refreshing way possible. I haven’t touched Reddit in over half a year and I feel better off for it. Feels like I can actually be myself here instead of trying to walk on eggshells to be part of the hivemind.

Opposite for me, this place is way more left-leaning and if I comment like I used to on Reddit, the comments easily end up in double-digit negatives

Join a Lemmy instance without downvotes. You can’t be hurt by downvotes if you never see them!

The best part is the mods who don't remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s

Just imagine if all Reddit moves here if it dies.
