Strongly agreed! That’s been my sentiment exactly. That’s why I’m not at all bothered when people compare the numbers and show how many orders of magnitude more people are on Reddit. That’s just fine with me.

Lemmy scratches the same itch, it isn’t the same 5 posts circulating for three days anymore, and we seem to have reached a critical mass where it feels just like it should, but without the shitty bits.

Same. Sadly, however, the more popular a thing becomes, the more the general population (read: idiots and trash) shows up to enshitify things.
