I myself am really on the fence about this.
I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.
But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.
Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?
No. This whole Fediverse feels like Reddit did in the beginning. Real conversations. Real sense of community. No pointless bloat or mindless repetition. I started actually participating because I’m not drowned out with a million ridiculous generic comments minutes after a post. Reddit will undoubtedly continue, but not with me as a part of it.
You could really only go 2 or 3 comments deep in any Reddit thread before you start seeing the copy pasted comments everywhere. Repeating catchphrases did seem like a good way to earn karma, though so maybe that’s why bots and users alike just regurgitated the same drivel.
Fuck reddit, I had started finding it a waste of time.
I used to browse reddit comments to find well thought angles to what was happening in the world.
Now most threads, even those about serious fucking issues, are a long lists of jokes, memes and pointless fluff.
I might as well read Facebook comments at this point.
The tone here is already on a different level, I’ve left reddit and I don’t miss it a little bit.
