It’s nuts, the drop in quality since even two weeks ago(let alone 2 years ago) is actually insane. I always thought 90-9-1 was a bit of copium by users wanting to feel more important than they were, but even the relatively small protests/migration has torpedoed the atmosphere generally.
It made me realize that the general quality of reddit had gone severely downhill, but more slowly and imperceptibly. This recent migration just really highlights that. Now looking at what’s left it’s really reminding me of what I used to like about it and how little of that is left. The slow and steady growth of lemmy is really exciting to see because it’s a good portion of the folks who were interested in the community/content aspect of reddit.
