Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

My favorite was old days of Reddit you’d be skewered for posting a .jpg instead of a .png of the image had text.

JPG should be killed off. We don't need a lossy image format anymore were not on dialup.
