Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at [email protected]
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from [email protected] :
Yeah I’m glad reddit’s comment culture didn’t carry over
I think for the most part it stayed in reddit, and I’m so glad it did. But I have run into the odd “classic” reddit comment like “sigh unzips” and jfc did it make me realize how much I had not missed that kind of tired, uncreative, dumb bullshit joke.
Some people really want lemmy, or the fediverse for that matter, to be reddit. And that’s not a bad thing of its own. But maybe we can let it be what it wants to be.
Personally, I’m fine with Lemmy not completely replacing Reddit, but rather just being a viable alternative for those of us who are tired of Reddit. I’ve only been using Lemmy for a handful of days and I’m already quite happy with it as it is.
Maybe it’s just the communities I frequent, but I think it did carry over. There’s a lot of sarcastic comments, holier than thou comments, and meme comments on Lemmy just like Reddit.
Edit: Also, a lot of negativity.
