First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Reddit has so many small communities that the people in charge have absolutely no care for. I hope one of these services takes hold as a clear Reddit replacement so that they can be built back up.

I think this is the most tragic thing about leaving Reddit... The tech subs, the politics subs - those are easy communities to make replacements for on any platform. But the in-depth analyses and discussions of Star Wars lore or joke communities around Garfield will be tougher to replicate I think.

Yeah, I heard someone pitching the old let "AI" handle it line. Machine learning can't moderate those communities to even a mediocre standard. It's just too variable, subjective and nuanced. Even actual members of communities can be crappy at moderating them!

Ummm...have you been on Reddit? 😆

As a mod of a small community on reddit, I'm weary of building up from scratch again. The sub is about polls, which isn't a feature on Lemmy. So I guess I'll just give up on my moderating hobby for now.

I get the impression that owners of large servers aren't too interested in the growth from Reddit. I think some post even said that using "Reddit refugee" as a reason for application for an account is gonna get you rejected.

Which is fine because you can join another.
