What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem? I’ve been trying it out for the
last week. I have my own opinions, but I’d like to hear others and see if we
have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.
True. I have only found one community on lemmy that‘s better than its Reddit equivalent. [email protected] isn’t swamped with fascists.
Just like previous Reddit alternatives quickly became refuges for fascists and jailbait, Lemmy is a refuge for tankies. They can say here, that would get them banned from Reddit. So a considerable part of the users here are of the more extreme sort in the first place.
The arbitrary moderation here makes it less attractive to post something of substance. You’re just one mod’s click away from it all being deleted. Reddit at least keeps your account, posts, and bookmarks around, if you get banned. Sure you can get around this by hosting your own instance, but that’s a ton of work.
The lower amount of content is an advantage in one way. Endless doomscrolling becomes repetitive quickly.

If reddit is so much better than here, then how about you do everyone a favour and fuckin go back?
