    I always thought it would be the mods who would cause reddit to fall. I never thought it would be this way though

    I’m guessing the original of this was anti-suffragette propaganda? I love that shit. It was always “if women can vote, they’ll behave as badly as men”.

    My mental state using reddit vs lemmy.

    Listen, I like lemmy, but it is turbo-doomer compared to Reddit. I think one of the biggest differences is that the smaller reddit communities that I’d use to escape the doomer shit like /r/furry_irl or /r/polandball just don’t really exist here.

      It’s the opposite for me, actually. I use Lemmy far less than I ever used Reddit, so its easier to actually not feel so addicted.

        I gave up Reddit and started on Lemmy, but also started speed cubing. Now when I have time to kill I’ll just get my cube out instead of mindlessly scrolling.

        I can now on average, solve a Rubik’s cube in around 40 seconds.

        Just an idea of how much time was consumed scrolling politics on Reddit

          Absolutely! I’ve picked up reading, and finished the first full novel in years for me. I picked Dune, and actually enjoyed it a lot, even if I overall felt myself questioning if Frank ever knew a real woman in his life.

      Same here. I generally prefer Lemmy at this point but I absolutely hate how everything is politics on here. Even the meme communities are half the time just shitty talking points in a meme template.

      So much negativity all the time and all of it is essentially useless because virtually everyone on Lemmy is at least progressive already. So the comments are just a bunch of people agreeing with each other how terrible everything is.

      It’s really exhausting.
