The community has “reopened” since this post yesterday but all content that exists on the sub up to one month ago has been removed. The sub is now totally inactive as you can’t make new posts.
I dunno. There are parts of Lemmy which are just as bad (if not worse).
I left once because of it. I’m mainly back because I’m hoping lemmy can replace reddit ultimately and we can start to rely on something totally decentralized. Not super impressed by spez either
For all its flaws, on Lemmy there is at least the option of picking a different instance if you don’t like the way your current one is managed. I also like that karma isn’t a thing here because in my opinion it is one of the main reasons Reddit is such an echo chamber.
This.
Spoiler
I do not miss those low effort, repetitive, highly upvoted content. People there cannot just upvote and move on, they have to post some wasteful content and whereas it was one downvoted into oblivion, that changed long long ago. I have an ancient Reddit account and over a decade ago, the place became unrecognizable from those early days of people just want to share and talked about cool shit.
Not only. Oddly enough, even one of the admins on beehaw acted completely weird. And there is definitely a few more subs where people act extremist and weird
Also, it got to the point that there were people openly calling for killing specific people.
That being said, long term there is definitely more promise which is why I gave it another try
Almost all parts of Lemmy are too radical, and it has become a tool for further radicalisation by external forces.
We have API access and no spez, so that’s still better than reddit in my book.

Too radical for you is what you mean.
