I deleted BOTH RIF and the Official Reddit App (used twice) as soon as RIF stopped working. It's been a strange few weeks. During downtime, I found myself scrolling the bullshit that Google News offered me, or just staring into space waiting for a distraction. Now I've found this place and I'm trying out some Lemmy apps. Wish me luck, but I think this could be what I was looking for.

Pretty much the same boat here. I have to say, it feels more like the place every day. There aren't as many people or posts, but the quality (and politeness) is higher. Someone mentioned that it's probably because everyone who migrated here is likely an adult since this is too obscure for kids who care about brands.
TBH, I both Dont want the kind of users that are auful like that to hirt our members, and also want as many rational heads on here as possable, I debate if saying "Let them go to their gratification chambers at Meta" or "as many people, come on over, nobody deserves zuckerberg" is the right call
In a way most are out of our control directly, and some no control at all.
To be fair, @spez can replace zuckerberg and it would still make sense
My only problems is with spez and his goons (admins), and that's the reason I left reddit
Toxicity could happen across all social media platforms, that means it can happen in the fediverse too. And I'm glad lemmy doesn't have karma points
Several subreddits had mods more intent on sniffing their own farts as well. Glad to see it all gone...
