I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.

I hate everyone on lemmy but at least I'm hating people

Yeah, fighting with bots is just boring. At least if a human gets mad at me it's more real.

I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).

This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.

Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.

This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

A democracy, if you can keep it, in a sense. Lemmy is healthy. Time will tell if the idea works, but I think it is a huge advantage tearing away corporate ownership and really investing in a platform that is owned by its users.

I like a lot of things here better than Reddit. For one thing, I don't see the stupid buzzwords like literally or cringe in 98% of all posts. There's no hivemind here...yet. And hopefully there won't be.

Also not the same 5 memes repeated for 15 years.
