Oh man my Lemmy addiction is much stronger because I'm actually participating as opposed to lurking on Reddit.

[-] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

Same. I stopped frequently commenting on reddit when the site became filled with outrage-bait and various agenda-pushing.

Lemmy feels more user-driven and authentic, so I'm participating a ton more.

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How dare you speak for me?...

Bloody hell, I haven't participated this much for at least a decade.

[-] jimmyjoners@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Guys, I'm starting to think the problem is me...

[-] MetaPhrastes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I totally relate to this. I didn't like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!

Guys, if you have asthma, ignore Lemmy at all costs. Everyone's breathtaking.

[-] zbrox@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

How do you know? I could be just a random, irrelevant nobody

My only complaint is it's a bit more meta here, but that's understandable given its growth and why it grew (reddit's poor decisions)

[-] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Get off my lawn!!!

There, did that help?

[-] flameguy21@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You asked nicely, so I'll just get off your lawn. Sorry.

I'd upvote, but your at 69 so I won't. If it changes: wasn't me, I swear!

Yeah, i really thought I'd spend a lot less time scrolling without reddit

First couple days, sure... then i started to find more and more axtive communities, and couldn't help but keep logging in

I'm liking Lemmy more because the last few years of Reddit were just so filled with dumbfucks that missed obvious jokes/sarcasm and had shitty comments to make on questions, it was bumming me out. I can ask questions and get answers. I can make a joke and people get it (it might suck, still, but they understand it's a joke). I feel like this is where people who can, and actually do, read and understand everything before responding are hanging out.

[-] Vupperware@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It’s an interesting quandary.

There is an inherently higher quality to posts and comments in smaller communities. It’s something many people value.

People flock to the high-quality offerings, and as a result, the quality decreases.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds, whilst still maintaining A “free speech” ethos?

Typically, enforcing quality standards requires heavy and overbearing moderation that makes the interactions feel artificial.

^ if you can crack that code, you’d be sitting on a goldmine.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of work has to be done with society as a whole before we have a chance of that. I don't think that particular problem (sometimes called Eternal September) is inherent to the systems of communication themselves, but really the inherent nature of humans. The same thing will happen in a community of people IRL.

I also find it difficult to see how we could reconcile disparate cultures and ideologies while also unifying as a singular "human culture" that isn't constantly bickering with each other and could actually agree on how to go about doing things. I mean, short of an alien invasion forcing every human being to come together to combat a new threat.

[-] RhetoricalOrator@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

" I feel like this is where people who can, and actually do, read and understand everything before responding are hanging out."

Don't worry, me and other new users will get that corrected ASAP!

But for real, the users and vibe here seem far less caustic and I'm enjoying it. It's been a nice journey recognizing that I want hooked on Reddit because of content so much as because of the dopamine hit I got from endlessly scrolling through a lot of low effort content.

I left Reddit because of the enshitification, not the doomscrlling.

[-] Gull@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

The post volume is still much lower, but that isn't all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn't as bad and unlimited scroll time isn't healthy.

[-] NeoAgostosTheos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The positive interaction on Lemmy is what keeps me coming back. On reddit, I have about 15 comments in 10 years.

[-] flagellum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey fuck you and your stupid opinion! I'm smarter and technically correct on this one obscure point that you weren't making! And it's spelled "for all intents and purposes," dipshit!

Crap, sorry. Those Reddit habits die hard.

This hits so close to home

[-] yak@feddit.it 6 points 1 year ago

Oh god, this reminds me, is there already a community dedicated to thalassophobia here on Lemmy?

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I found one on Lemmy.world, has a few posts but the fear hasn't kicked in yet.

[-] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

I thought Lemmy would just take over my mobile usage, and I would still visit reddit on desktop. Turns out I'm just using Lemmy on both because the vibe here is more fun.

[-] Mason@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yup Lemmy is going great right now, in a way I'm thankful for spez being such a RETARD because I only found Lemmy from this bs he pulled. I'm sure it's gonna be bigger than Reddit was

[-] DonDino@mujico.org 5 points 1 year ago
[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

NO, those are baseless allegations spread by the deep state, I am in no way affiliated to Spez (or his mother)

[-] DonDino@mujico.org 3 points 1 year ago

Ok sir, seems legit, sorry to bother you

[-] SpezHater69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not shown is the even bigger "Talking about Reddit on Lemmy" leviathan.

[-] ProfessorLupinstein@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The vibe here is so good though. I'm really glad to be here.

[-] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I'm also glad you're here.

This post has inspired me to go do something productive instead.

..see you in an hour, max.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

See you when that moment happens when you mindlessly click on your Lemmy app because you’re bored, and suddenly it’s open again.

It's new and fresh, and everyone so nice and friendly, what not to like?)

While I somewhat agree, Duolingo has been receiving much more of my attention as of late.
