The groundwork made in the apps, frontends, tools and instances is finally paying off. The masses are noticing the value!

I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.

It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.

It's no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they're not here yet.

Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.

Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

(But not the Taylor Swift armpit one)

Did you say especially the Taylor Swift armpit one? You perv.

I came back to Lemmy as in trying to avoid American corporation owned social networks. Reddit falls into that category.

I have been temporarily banned from a new account I made a while ago to return after my permabanned last summer. I am seriously thinking of fully ditching reddit save for a few special nerdy interests (and porn).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

We have porn! But yeah we need more population growth for niche and local communities to really flourish.

Yes I’m here so expect this place to be filled with awful soon.

I can’t go back to Reddit. Bots, bots as far as the eyes can see.

Hopefully they are active and interesting people.

I am not interesting

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lemmy needs post creators above all but we will take everyone

I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.
