I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

It beat the simpsons bar one!
Yeah, kicked that back into third!
Honestly, I would use Lemmy more except that some posts are just people being overly negative or strangely political in the comments. There are good communities without this don’t get me wrong but it can get old
I've found a massive reduction after blocking only a handful of users. It seems there are fewer of them than it first appears.
I might have to do that then, thanks! Might make my experience a bit better.
Also something I didn’t think about, there are enough users on Reddit to let the garbage comments sink to the bottom and not be seen. Here, you see them all
Feel free to chime in on this thread, it's a proposal to solve this exact issue: https://lemmy.world/post/24268267
Yeah a lot of people on here have sticks up their butts hehe
We live in a time where you could have a really good alternative FOSS Platforms with all the cool bells & whistles
But they'll never join it because, "It ain't Youtube" or "muh favorite creator is not there" or that there's no large userbase
The alternatives are annoying to sign up on and letting the community be in charge just leads to hate speech being allowed. Which tbh also is an issue with traditional social media but there at least they are reliant on advertisers so they have an interest in controlling it.
When I have seen hate speech and slurs on here, it’s been in screenshots of big corporate social media.
I have a feeling that spez was an ordinary man when he started reddit. Then he became an asshat, of course.
I can't even blame spez for becoming that asshat. Trying to ride herd on something as large, diverse, and popular as reddit has become, requires someone who is willing to be an asshat.
If you ever find yourself in charge a group of diverse people remember that you will never satisfy everyone. And a lot of the time the best you can hope for is to piss off everyone equally.
Do you think you can be benevolent and also not try to satisfy everyone
You can be benevolent, but you can't satisfy everyone. Those are two different things. I can care about people, but I can't feed every starving person. I can work to rescue as many as I can, but I cannot save everyone.
And the larger the group you are trying to lead, the less likely it is that you can satisfy the needs of all of them. And sometimes, you might even need to be cruel in the moment to be kind over the long run to do the most good.
But you dont have to actively try to make it worse
