I’m a long time Lemmy lurker and occasional Redditor. Since the Reddit influx, I’ve watched the frequency of shitty Reddit-type behavior, e.g., combative comments, trolling, and unnecessary rudeness, just sky rocket.

I’m happy to have more content on Lemmy, but I wish the bad actors and assholes would have stayed on Reddit.

Yes, I realize the irony of posting this on a new community that’s basically a Reddit transplant.

    I discovered Lemmy around 2019 or 2020 and loved the concept but was put off by the density of commies, so I didn’t create an account and participate but I would check the site around once a year to see if the community had taken off yet.

    2020: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
    2021: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
    2022: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
    2023: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet?

    YES!

    And I am so glad to never have to see the depressing and miserable “culture” that was Lemmy from 2019 to mid-2023 again.
