minus-squareCustodialTeapot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down3·6 months agoIt’s sad that I was hoping for Lemmy to be a place to have a better vetting of comments by votes but its frankly worse than Reddit. Its hive mind is sadly becoming less diverse and just up votes “LOL THIS THING BAD” with no sourcing or anything. I’ve found myself sadly going back to Reddit more because the comments are just of higher quality and diversity of opinions.
