The cliquey part is probably true tbh.
I feel like Redditors and Reddit-minded people () mistake having a different "site culture" (for lack of better words) for cliquey-ness
They also have a site culture but it's shit and they can't even tell it exists anymore, it's just normal to them like fish in water
Although idk maybe there's something to be said about power-posters or whatever, but I think that's mainly a result of having a small userbase
It's absolutely this, mostly because after only posting pretty much here for 4 years now I can smell the Redditor on people to the point where I am at like a 90% accuracy rate of knowing who is a new account or not on writing style alone. And I'm fine with giving them the benefit of the doubt for posting, but I don't like interacting with them too much.
someone is always going to be the most prolific poster. it's just how numbers work.
It's a monolithic clique
Most of the online left is structured like a fandom or group of overlapping fandoms for compatible left media organizations and creators and academics. This is very cliquey as is most social media. Lemmy is like if individual cliques of nerds each had their own Hacker News (instead of the ycombinator group of nerds) with optional crossposting.
