It is the same.
Big communities suck.
Small communities are great if you are part of the in crowd, if not it sucks.
Mods suck.
Admins really suck.
The content is the same, just a day behind.
It is the same.
Yet we scroll and enjoy it.
On reddit the conservative subs don’t allow discussions or debates. On Lemmy the leftist subs don’t allow discussions or debates.
I joined, hoping that it is way less censored than reddit. Is that the case? Nowadays you can’t say shit in the “social platforms” if it hurts someone. I want to be able to say what In think and read what others have to say even if it hurts my feelings / views.
I want to murder-death-kill someone every time I see/hear “unalive”.
You would have been banned on Reddit for inciting violence… wish i was kidding. Kudos
The difference is the type of people who are drawn to Lemmy are more technical, computer savvy
I’ve been trying to figure out if there are fewer bots here. I think there are. If there’s any substantive difference between the two that’s it.
And that is the only thing that matters. This comment won the prize! ❤️✨
Everyone on Lemmy is a fed.
Alright, wrap it up boys, we’ve been made
Lemmy’s far less toxic than Reddit and actually does something about bigots/hateful people too
also you don’t get banned just for saying Luigi lol
You get banned for random views though. In particular lemmy.world is heavy on the censorship.
If lemmy gets more popular then corporate influenced mods will appear.
That’s why I switched from .world. Being the biggest target makes them more averse to offending corporations.
The benefit of lemmy being that instances can and do block communities that don’t fit their vibe. So once lemmy gets big enough that quality starts taking a hit, and corpos smell blood in the water, other instances can just fork off. It’s already kind of like that too. Whereas with reddit, you can’t tell what sub a person originally signed up for, sure you can go through history but with lemmy you can see what instance a person belongs to, which can give you a slight idea of the ideals that person might hold. Some instances may, for better or worse, have certain reputations.
Plus with being able to see a users mod history and whatnot. Lemmy has a lot more to offer and its still growing. it’ll likely split over time but basically be the same. It is very different from reddit though, more like if forums and twitter had a baby.
Here I am , fuck Reddit
Belly full of ramen, couldn’t give a fuck about Reddit
I like you
Systematically the same. Different weight shift (views and interests). Smaller userbase also makes it a bit different, but will become more similar with more users.
From what I’ve experienced, it feels toxic in a bizarre liberal, Linux-nerd white knight kindof way. Which I think almost wraps back around to not being toxic at all and just feeling friendly in a passive aggressive way? Like going to a computer convention held on a hot, sunny beach. Sure, every here mostly agrees and likes the same geeky stuff but we can easily be too cranky about it, one way or another. Lemmy seems way more likely to engage in real conversation in comments and not just one-line jokes than Reddit. People seem more passionate about their hobbies or viewpoints. More likely to help if asked directly and detailed in response. It’s a cool place!
Classic liberal or social liberal ? (=american or european ?)
Their filthy neckbeard echo chamber
vs
our glorious neckbeard echo chamber
People seem nicer here in general.
Lemmy has the 3 day no poop challenge and reddit definitely doesn’t, for one thing
the what?
This is the lemmy deep lore https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/78689/I-need-to-survive-for-3-days-without-pooping-and
If you read the user agreement when you signed up, you would know that you’re not supposed to poop for 3 days after signing up. You shouldn’t be posting until you complete the challenge.
Lemmy is full of tankies and Linux nerds. It’s a different kind of toxic to what you’d experience over on Reddit.
Definitely different
Less far right dipshits, more tankies, same bullshit rhetoric.
That’s unfortunate, i was hoping to also read stuff from the maga assholes. Really, this separation is very harmful imo
agreed.
the great crisis of our times is a failure to effectively communicate and accept the communication of The Other™
Fairly different hivemind here, I think. Still annoying at times but for different reasons. Individuals seem more likely to engage on a topic though. Maybe without instantly thinking you’re their enemy.
It took me a bit to understand this. I was so used to expecting negativity that i thought non-negative comments were being sarcastic.
“hivemind” is such a stupid bullshit concept. the only people who use it just don’t like being disagreed with. if you use the term “hivemind” you might as well be a reddit conservative
I don’t think hivemind is a bullshit concept. It’s another word for gregarian behavior. The observed dominance of a single point of view, amplified by the underlying system of upvotes that brings a visibility bias to already popular points of view.
Isn’t that what we call the hivemind ?
Congrats on being the exception to the latter part of my comment.
Congrats on being an exception to the penulatimate part of your comment then? My point is that “hivemind” is already a thought-terminating cliche. If you’re using it while seeking in-depth conversation, what do you expect to get? Hence me saying you “might as well be” such as such – which is very different from treating you like an enemy. Seems like you gave a bit of that hostility back though! And why? Because this conversation revolves around a thought-terminating cliche like “hivemind”.
