That’s part of it, I feel I want to engage more, and the engagements here are better. Seems like any post that gained traction on Reddit would inevitably devolve into tropes and people arguing instead of discussing.
The amount of people here that want/expect Reddit 2.0 is a little shocking.
I've been seeing the sentiment a lot lately about Reddit comment sections devolving into tropes. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't recall seeing that so much as time went on. Especially the the "this" comment that so many people have referenced. I feel like that comment in particular was getting plenty of hate on Reddit itself. Subredditsasahashtag were definitely a thing, but I didn't find them particular disruptive. Especially being able to skip to the next parent comment.
A that being said, what I most hope for Lemmy comment sections is subjects matter experts who provide additional jumping off points for additional expiration of the original post's topic.
It was all of the “this”, fourth comment in a chain being downvoted, stuff having to be labeled serious or it would be jokes.
It likely could be how you viewed it too, I viewed a lot of r/all, so it sormthing is there, it’s already popular and any new comments aren’t going to go very far.
Little different if you were commenting on newer posts that didn’t “blow up” yet. There’s another one, the edit thanking people for the post blowing up or whatever.
Plenty of them.
