I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
kungen@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I’ve never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person an addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, on Lemmy I’m finding I actually get replies, because I didn’t among a hundred others.
Jordan117@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to “Active” most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to “Top Six Hours”).
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Literally the next post under this one, sorting by 112h top posts, has 147 comments
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Like 6 good ones and a bunch of the same tired comments about poop knives, broken arms, same, this.
Here, at least most of the answers are real human beings trying to contribute to a conversation.
GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You obviously weren’t here for the guy who didn’t want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.
blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Tbh I’ve decided I can live with less and less of this. I’ll never go back to the giant ad covered spaces. But if this doesn’t pickup or even dies, meh
merdaverse@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Legitimately who cares though? You‘re not in it for the money with Reddit either.
AntelopeRoom@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Same, once they violated certain principles, it was clear the site was dead. We need to do our best to build lemmy into something. It’ll take years.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Some people are just into that kind of thing.

I feel like as an A’s fan. The same thing happened to Reddit. Owners turned it into a shit hole.

As a fellow A’s fan I completely agree this analogy.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.
Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago

iLStrix@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that’s why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Just goes to show how easy it is to get these people upset.
Just call them out
Call them often
Call them out every day
Never stop calling them out … you’ll know they’re listening when someone either tells you or forces you to stop.
Nazis and authoritarians every single one of them.

Is this the “free speech” everyone in 'Murica is talking 'bout?
AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech…
Ironic huh
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn’t like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.
AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around trying to manipulate the stock price and accidentally made an agreement he couldn’t back out of. He tried. He failed. He was forced to buy it according to the terms he previously specified.
merdaverse@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
He did. Free speech for bigots that is.
Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well, wanted to own a mechanism of free speech so he could control it.
YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not ironic when you realize it’s this but literally. He wants to own all speech.
iheartneopets@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).
Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.
SunshineJogger@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
That’s more or less why I left reddit came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
MaxB@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago

Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Welcome fellow former redditor!
MBech@feddit.dk 3 weeks ago
I’ve been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
SunshineJogger@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
samuelazers@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In over 2 decades of internet, i can safely say banning users for upvoting things is the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever seen a discussion board ever do. Just remove upvotes at this point and have the feed curated by Lord Muskrat.
samuelazers@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Unlike others, i didn’t get banned from Reddit, i just wanted to get a head-start learning this site, because Reddit is on the way to become X2.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
Petter1@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I got here because they killed Apollo 🫶🏻 never forget
I use Voyager now for lemmy
FreeHat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m brand new as well and hopeful but wow the smaller forums here need some love. The topic variety is small to the point where maybe straight up bot cloning subreddits here where posts on Reddit just get reposted to their Lemmy equivalent to kick start refugees feeling at home. Plus if there’s basically cross platform discussion posts it gives ground for users of existing subreddits to migrate.
TeddE@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we’ll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!
CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.

I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent bull terrier dog that attacked a family member
And they had a child
No free speech on Reddit
I think they have people move in to moderator roles that can choose to ban people who disagree with their opinions
MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
blarth@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
Hmm, sounds like your freedom of speech was suppressed, at least according to the standard Elon espouses. I wonder why he now feels so strongly about doing the opposite thing from what he wanted before. 🤔
tane@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
lol I got actually hwid banned for refusal to stop Luigi posting
brysmi@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To Hell, you say?
Necroscope0@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I got mine for hoping Elon’s penis pump would explode and him to burn to death from the dick up.

You forgot “to hell” in your last sentence 🧐
pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.
Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
pixelpure@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.
Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣

No shit, that explains Reddits noticeable change in moderation after the election.

Smerk@lemmy.studio 3 weeks ago
There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech
While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome on Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldnt host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time
Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT
Told you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall

PerfectDark@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I’m done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
