I missed reddit simply because I can’t find the fucking porn on Lemmy (though I realize now that it might be because I"m on lemm.ee)
No I have no reason to miss it
You may need to check the “show NSFW” button in your settings.
I do, but it never shows up on my feed
!gonewild@lemmynsfw.com
Some Lemmy instances block lemmynsfw, so you won’t see it.
This is a little too vanilla and 3D for my taste, but thank you
there’s some good 2d stuff on that instance too
At least there plenty of Blahaj Hentai on Lemmy.
And I just went back to Reddit after the election. Lemmy is full of the most annoying social warrior edgelords where every fucking thread devolves into fighting from insane viewpoints. The “never genocide” “both sides” kind of people.
It’s fucking exhausting.
But guess Reddit is imploding again. Hopefully we get more normal people to migrate this time to help drown out the nutters.
Yeah I feel you. I just want the old internet back. We had MySpace, StumbleUpon was a fun waste of time, and we could easily ignore politics. Now everything is political, everyone is an internet activist yet no one does what needs to be done IRL.
Been on Lemmy since the election. Having a way better time than on Reddit. Especially since I didn’t have to jump through hoops on Lemmy to get dark mode and the Old Reddit look. Just a better site. Only thing it needs is more content, but there’s enough to keep me happy.
Guess everyone has their own experience with it.
Im in the exact same page as you. Seeing a mod remove comments because people weren’t capitalizing another users pronouns was the straw that broke my back the first time I yeeted Lemmy, the next time I came back to lemmy there was a whole thing about u/vegan banning people for saying that feeding a vegan diet to a carnivore pet was animal abuse. I’d LIKE lemmy to be usable if you dont have a tolerance for extremism, but I’m not holding my breath
The extremists would be the first to leave Reddit and search for alternatives. Eventually, enough average people join that it levels out. But if you try to do that artificially, it’ll just water the space down until it becomes another reddit.
Tbh, my only issue with reddit is who owns it and the way in which they exploit that. As a product I’m pretty happy with it, and the thing that made it reduce in quality, losing a shitload of its moderators because reddit fucked them over, ISNT an area that Lemmy beats it in. When I started getting my foot out the door I started paying attention to how many mods an instance had when I blocked it, and the majority of Lemmy instances had like ONE active mod. Lemmy is effectively unmoderated, and I’m not a fan of that, especially with some of the population it has.
I’m not trying to be rude, but it sounds like a mainstream echo chamber is exactly what you’re looking for. There’s instances like that. I don’t know what’s so terrifying that instances can exist outside of that.
Nah man, I just dont want idiotic and extreme takes to be like 30% of what I see. Someone who champions lgbtq rights while defending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or a Vegan who nutritionally starves their pet because they think their ideals trump their cat’s nutritional needs, or even a self identified Narcissist who thinks the word Narcissist is an Ablist slur are NOT opinions worth reading, but thats exactly the kind of bulshit thats uncommon at its very rarest on this site. Further, moderation keeps threads on point, and doesnt drag EVERY instance into whatever bulshit drama that is hitting lemmy this week
