It's amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.

Rddit just feels like it's actively trying to get you to leave it.

    Reddit is like the late Roman Empire. It looks fine on the outside, but it's corrupt all the way down, powered by unpaid labor, and the lead pipes are slowly killing everyone.

    No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.

    The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.

    There's probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.

    Interesting. May I ask how?

    Because with old.reddit and RES it really doesn't feel much different (apart from the vibes in the communities)

    Bad moderation is still an issue here. Like allowing people posting pictures of text or low effort meme content on comms that aren't for memes

    Sounds good, but from what you are saying, they are ignoring your reports
