Friendship ended with Reddit, now Lemmy is my best friend
Didn’t this “redit bad” conversations ended like a month ago 😄
Well I’ve converted quite recently as I haven’t heard of Lemmy before.
I apologize for bothering you, sir.
No problem buddy. Most people here started out that way anyway. Welcome to the club 🎉🫡
In that case, welcome aboard!
This meme already existed back in June when lemmy.ml was the main instance
My friend switched to the default Reddit app after they killed RiF, he just told me today he’s sick of it and made an account on world so there’s definitely still people trickling over
Yeah I’m blocking accounts that only posts about reddit.
This one’s a new account though.
What’s up with the new wave of people talking about Reddit? Did their admins do some stupid shit again?
(I’m just curious, mind you, it has been months since I don’t browse Reddit.)
For me two things come to mind:
- X’s influence - they are doing some stupid $hit (like removing ability to block people). So I guess my brain decided it is fed up with corpo apps.
- degradation of content quality - I feel like Reddit has served it’s purpouse, and I struggle to find something funny and/or informative. When I opened Lemmy for the first time, at least 4 interesting articles came on my feed.
degradation of content quality
One reason why reddit could die slowly. It won’t be a process of dumb leader quotes/decisions like the twitter to mastodon waves. It will be slow and continuously.
well in a way it is I think. The blackouts have pretty much ended, but many mods left. Many mods are demotivated, and many users are leaving due to worsened apps. They survived the blackouts, but the long term effects will have them bleeding for a long time.
Got it!
It’s kind of hard to generalise based on one point of data, but I’m surprised at you saying that the content quality went down. I did expect it to happen, but not so quickly. (Also, welcome to Lemmy!)
Did their admins do some stupid shit again?
This seems to be a fair assumption whenever we see a new wave to be honest.
welcome from kbin!
Tervetuloa :)
Not finnish, but still appreciate it!
Guessed based on the username but sometimes it misses =) Anyway, glad you got here :)
Suomi?
Yeah, guessed they might be Finnish because of the username but that didn’t turn out to be the case =)
I’m not actually finnish but am learning it on duolingo haha. I do love the language though :3
Siistiä! Menestystä opintoihisi! (Google will translate the latter to ‘good luck with your studies’ which isn’t exactly right. We do not wish luck as much as English-speaking people do, menestys = success)
Welcome welcome
Spez became too proudy.
It’s true.
