    Guys cmon, look at this whole thread and have some self-awareness.

    We’ve all got aspects of reddits worse qualities in our niche topics of interest, and the tribalism here isn’t that much of an upgrade from the reddit hive mind.

    We have no right or authority to gatekeep people joining, all we can do is give them the option and shove them from instance to instance until they finally settle on an echo chamber suittable to our/their weird tastes.

      That exist in any social media, the issue with Reddit is the bots and the corporations changing narratives and antagonizing human interactions.

        Yep. I’m fine with standard soc-med drama but i draw the line at literal anti-social behavior such as bots and corps.
        Fuck. That.

          I hated the AI ragebait that infested some subreddits. Most of the front page posts on AITA were AI posts after a certain point. You could tell for a few weeks since they all used an en dash — in the post. It’s not something most regular people would use, as a regular dash - is what most people do online.

          I don’t miss the bots, the corps, the ragebait, and the bad actors. I’m thankful to have Lemmy.
