I remember the last post I saw on reddit before I switched to lemmy full time. It was the day after they removed 3rd party app support. I clicked on a video where 2 people were fighting, normally when something like that was posted I’d be able to go into the comments and find a source of some kind, be it a news article, someone who had seen it before knowing the context, or even a link to the original post. But as I kept scrolling I saw none of that. Just post after post of low effort shit like “got em” or, even worse, racist whistles (one of the people involved where black). I looked at every single comment, I could not believe that there was no source. Once I reached the end I un-installed RiF (it still worked the next day just not while logged in) and never looked back.
For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider.

People made those comments on a public page. I don’t see why you are censoring the user names.
Snowpix@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
It’s not a new thing to censor people’s usernames on posts. It’s respectful and not doing so could possibly lead to people being harassed in DMs.

OP found this screenshot from a Redditor. I couldn’t find the exact source. For all I know, the guy on Reddit wrote this stuff himself.

I’m going to block you just for posting this. You’ve wasted everybody’s time who had to scroll past this, and we are all now dumber. May god have mercy on your soul.

lesteross@lemmy.world 8 months ago
At least there is something to read, unlike on lemmy, where the most liked posts are bitching about reddit.
TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 months ago
You still find that to be the case? I almost never see the kind of Reddit-bitching I did when we all first migrated here.
lesteross@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Maybe there’s not as many as before, sure, but this post is still on top of c/all so I guess lemmy hasn’t changed that much.

Guess I’m missing the point. Reads just like I remember.
Clearly it’s the “AITA”, not, “Ask a historian”.

Well, this will obviously be a hot take, but I didn't leave reddit because I hated the comment culture. It was actually a bit endearing to me.
tubaruco@lemm.ee 8 months ago
yeah most people came here because of the third party app bs from reddit, theyd probably be perfectly fine in reddit if the api changes didnt happen or were reverted
billwashere@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is there such a thing as a 13 yo AI who fucked your mother? Because this reads like a gang of them.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
What sub was this? The big, default subs have been terrible for a very long time, the smaller, more niche ones are mostly still OK.
Brekky@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Looks like AITA
Thrashy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I still participate in a few small subs that Lemmy doesn’t have the cross mass to replicate, and even in style of those there has been a marked decline in the quality of posts and discussion. It’s painfully clear that the mods who left during the API protest were putting in serious effort, and the scabs that replaced them aren’t up to the prior standard. Makes it a lot easier to leave most of Reddit behind, at least.

I just left reddit a seccond time and this is the first thing I see
FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Me too. I don’t know how I got drawn back in (though obv post titles are heavily scored for causing engagement, so a heavy dose of bots and psychological trickery no doubt…)
I got into a rhythm posting here and there a bit and then realised more than a few not-at-all-usually-controversial takes of mine attracted zero conversation, just the -2, -3 downvotes within minutes.
Dialogue and especially any nuance on Reddit is dead dead dead. I can’t stand (who I assume to be) the hypersensitive types who just downvote and move on. They’re making the place shit and they can keep it.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Reddit is bloodthirsty and quite often rejects reason, especially if you’re in subs like justiceporn or similar. People DGAF if the solution to a problem was “just walk away” that was available for the entirety of the lead-up to an incident, they just want to see massive retaliation for a slight, perceived or real.
Bunch of angry drunks looking for a fight for any reason.
That, and Reddit is all about reactions and retreads in all the popular subs, just like TikTok and the like.
The conversations happen in the small subs. Sometimes.
FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve lost faith that I’m even having conversations on there at all. Such a big motivation to have natural language bots building up credible history and posting nonsensical but vaguely plausible sounding replies that offer zero depth.
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 8 months ago
further proof us lemmyers are morally and intulectually superior 🍷🧐
fastandcurious@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Reddit is the new facebook imho, even people who I somewhat agree with frame their comments in such a way that I wanna punch them in the face, and a source for whatever they say? Lol trust me bro! I have seen that here even if someone says something that I don’t agree with, they at-least provide something that shows how they arrived at some point/conclusion, which opens a door for healthy discussions, I don’t think we as a community are much better, there are different flaws, but the environment is certainly different and better
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Seven or eight years ago I thought linking to sources was a rule/ettiquite, I learned it from how a lot of comments were back then and how I still format a good chunk of my answers.

Just before the API drama, the instance r/Mexico started censoring insults to politicians and mostly to the president. They started trying to monetize something (I’m not sure how) and they didn’t want people screwing things up. They started censoring a lot of content and I abandoned that subreddit. The alternative was a trash place, with racism and general LGBTfobia. Then the API drama started and I just left.

Could be bot responses to farm karma. Once the account is a bit older and has enough karma points, it will be either sold, post spam, or Post/comment on an product or topic the owner wants to push, or down vote opposing opinions.

I feel bad for the AI this is going to be trained on this.
PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Once lemmy got popular, I just decided next time I get banned I won’t make a new reddit account. Sure enough, I got banned without breaking any rules. Goof riddance.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I did something similar… then, in a moment of weakness, I tried to go back one more time. Apparently, I was really banned the last time. As in: even using a brand new email address didn’t fool them, I needed to use a VPN to even create an account. The juice just ain’t worth the squeeze anymore, so that’s the end of that.
