Unpopular opinion: it’s very much like Reddit.
It has ridiculous memes that overwhelm the ‘verse.
It has niche subjects that overwhelm the ‘verse.
It has a hive mind that doesn’t like unpopular opinions even if they’re correct.
It’s like Reddit before it started clamping down on things that were distasteful when viewed by advertisers or the general public, which I like.
There’s lots of drama sometimes.
It has mod problems. Sometimes it’s the absence of mods.
It’s attracting bots and karma whores, even though it’s meaningless here. For now.
Sometimes people show up with an agenda and talk at you instead of with you.
Thank goodness asklemmy isn’t overrun with the same damn stupid sexy sex and other same old shit yet.
Overall I’d say it’s better. People realize it’s new and the growing pains that the newness means. People are happier to have a discussion and enjoy the growing variety of the fediverse. People are people, though, and some of the same old stuff is showing up.
It really is like I never left.
I voice plenty of unpopular opinions that get downvoted, and do not submit onlyfans type "gee, by boyfriend doesn't like my tits, what do you think?" unpopular opinion type posts. There are plenty of people here who don't want the 'verse associated with reddit.
