Basically title
So you came on here and made this meaningless statement with zero explanation to accomplish what exactly? Seems like pretty low effort rage bait. I hear they still like that kind of childish nonsense over on Reddit, perhaps you should go back there?
I didn’t think I had to explain obvious things
Ah, so the post has no useful purpose and I can just ignore you and move on then, got it 👍
Have fun with your super obvious bush league trolling I guess 🤷♂️
Sorry you thought this was an eli5 post! Good riddance
Ok genius, I’ll play along… Lemmy did a “horrible job” keeping users from reddit because they’re not trying to keep users from reddit. Why would they, when there is zero need for it?
Quite frankly I like Lemmy because it’s less crowded than Reddit. That means less bots, less scammers, and less half assed trolls like yourself.
So you tell me, Mr All Knowing Mastermind, what the fuck are you talking about? To me it sounds like you’re just making up shit to get attention from strangers on the Internet
Ah, the defender of Lemmy’s tranquility! While you revel in the serene haven, consider that I’m not knocking it. I’m merely highlighting the missed opportunity for growth and diverse discussions. But hey, if you enjoy the echo chamber, more power to you. No need for hostility; let’s keep it civil in this digital oasis
I apologize, I clearly misjudged you when I called you a half assed troll… It’s obvious to me now that you are, in fact, using your whole entire ass.
Enough is enough, you’re welcome
I think a lot of us came here because we were unhappy with reddit. I know I did, and I’m pleased with the result. I haven’t been back.
If someone is happier using reddit, they should use reddit.
I use both, of course I’m using a third party client. Everything seems much better there, even mods, which is surprising to say the least.
I think this has no future at all but time will tell
Interesting. I completely disagree, but I imagine there’s such a vast array of experiences on a large site like reddit.
Personal curiosity; what do the mods do better on reddit than on here?
They don’t ban your entire account without reason. Rules are much more clearer, mods are professionals who don’t use alts and no power trip

🤣
Same reaction to it. Isnt there just few people who are moderating all big communities?
What instance/communities are you talking about?
Mainly LW
I’m an admin there, have any examples? We strive to improve our processes.

How?
Low effort posts sure do help :/
Yours definitely not
Low effort comment != low effort post.
I clicked to see what reasoning led to your assessment and got nothing. Lemmy is fine once we get bury low effort posts.
Did you forget to use your glasses?
Hmm, guess I did… now I clearly see a troll. Thanks!
Who cares what I comment? I’m mostly a happy lurker
I’m lurker
Isn’t it the height of hypocrisy to pass judgment on contributions when you can’t genuinely assess them, especially when yours are blatantly low-effort, as glaringly demonstrated in the screenshots?
Perhaps. At least I’m not junking up the feed.
hey, that’s enough, break it up
While you’re busy avoiding ‘junk,’ maybe consider elevating the quality of your contributions instead of just sidestepping the challenge. Substance over silence, perhaps? :)
Certain users, I would say, and I kind of agree that most of the people were probably annoyed by the difficulty to discover content, the DDoS on the large instances, broken federation, etc.
On the other hand, how could it have been otherwise? Lemmy is a benevolent open source project, out of the 40k monthly active users there seems to be around 50 willing to contribute to the code (I’m counting the mobile apps, Mbin, Sublinks in there).
We can only be happy with what we have now, and think how to address the issues we have progressively.
Weak bait even for a redditor
Reddit and Twitter are full of docile idiots who will put up with any enshittification of their status quo. But that’s not something Lemmy can change or is responsible for. Early adopters have left to look for new services, the passive will stay where they are.
Platform-shaming people who have other things to care about than how evil their source of memes is, that just doesn’t feel warranted or helpful. More like counterproductive.
It’s important to me - I stopped using reddit, I quit FB after all their genocide enabling, and I never got into Twitter. But insulting people doesn’t help them understand the importance of decentralizing power.
This is true, it was reddit that made me leave reddit, not lemmy
That doesn’t make any sense. Maybe you’d be better received with it on reddit.
I don’t write there, there’s already enough content
Folks, OP here is a known troll. After this comment they’ll be banned from my instance, but I wanted to leave a comment. Look at their post history, they get off on stirring the pot.
Oh, the tragedy! My world is shattered without the ability to comment on Taylor Swift news. Devastation doesn’t even begin to cover it.
- I came from Reddit as did a ton of other users I see making this place awesome who have remained on Lemmy the entire time with no signs of leaving any time soon.
- That’s not even a bad thing because most redditors were, and still are (especially those who stayed), shitheads.
- Because of 2, I think you’d fit in there quite nicely, so why not go back?
Cut the insults. Elevate the discourse. Contribute without the unnecessary jabs. End of story.
There’s no discourse to elevate here. You’re simply wrong. End of story
Keep calling people names, I’m sure it’s very productive
I’d consider not pandering to the average redditor to be a “pro” of lemmy.
