I don’t miss the dipshits, pun spammers, and smug power mods of reddit at all. I do miss their niche subs and smarter users. Like it or not, they do have some brainy folks peppered among the shit posters.
We have some good folks here, too. Just need more of them.
It’s a shame reddit has been dialing up the shit faucet slowly enough that most of their users don’t notice how awful it is now. They’ve grown accustomed to the poor quality of the content and weaponized greed of the owners.

Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.
Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.

The only engagement you actually get is on super-niche subreddits. Other than that, the “engagement” is largely indistinguishable from bot traffic.

I come to Lemmy to read threads of people arguing about whether or not they’re talking to each other at all. This is doing it for me.

You are glad that you jumped to where AI companies can get the information for free, but are mad at Reddit for getting paid for it.
I can’t make any sense of this.

The difference is that Lemmy admins across the fediverse aren’t making the user experience worse so they can sell the data to corporations for LLM training

It’s like the difference between volunteering and being forced to do community service.
