Meritocracy is a myth though, perpetuated by those lucky enough to benefit from existing systems.

It’s completely circular. I’m on top and the people who are on top are the best so because I’m on top I’m the best.

It never accounts for all the myriad non-merit related ways folks get on top in the first place.

It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.

So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.

God this is horrific. I love it.
