I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you choose?
You asked a question on the internet and didn’t expect an ’ inclusive or?’
You’re going to get a simple yes every time for top comment lol.
You’ll also get neithers. Then you’ll get trolly problems, then the politics… You know how it goes.
Which would you prefer; A or B?
Yes
A and B are stupid
OP is stupid
I hate A and B, and OP, and this website. Go fuck yourself.
Wonderful.
People liked to hate on reddit for it devolving into that. But the opposite extreme was Tildes which was all text based. Fediverse is thriving though which is the closest to reddit. Yes, comments will be like reddit. Pick and choose when people are open for discussion.
Puns and Memes will always be top content for a reason. Most people are looking for a quick 15 minute distraction, not a book club.
I moderate a couple of communities that fit that criteria - you can have a discussion but ultimately they’re just mildly amusing screenshot/photo communities. Initially the comment section was much much more friendly here than Reddit but I’ve definitely noticed a decline recently, say the last 2 weeks. Some of the messages I get when I warn people not to insult others are becoming unhinged. I know it’s bound to happen, lemmy is still the internet. But I had hoped for a place where people didn’t call each other fucking dickheads for having a different opinion.
