I've been using Lemmy for more than a year now and in the last month I noticed this tendency to dunk on people that complain and make memes about reddit.
Let me get this straight: I agree with the sacred commandment "thou shall not compare the two platforms", because Lemmy is trying to be its own thing and the comparison keeps holding back this process.
But people that bring reddit up are usually new users that are angry with it and the just found a new platform where they can express this anger. They just need to vent for a second until their frustration is gone.
And you dunking on them is the same as if you were dunking on your friend who's angry they got fired because that's a topic you already heard.

Yeah I don't think Lemmy ain't too different to be a Reddit alternative, key differences are free for everyone and free of corpo BS.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
