It's not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.

It's how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.

I don't disagree with you. However, when I see a post like this every day it gets old to me. Though to be fair, Lemmy content doesn't come from a single person and everyone on here is at a different phase in their journey.

And it's not like reddit isn't still relevant to us, you know? We also get bsky and twitter posts on here

Ok, but there's also post from 4chan, Xitter, Facebook, and everywhere else on the internet. Reddit, and now Lemmy, grab information and memes from literally everywhere so you don't have to.

There's always going to be a subject someone doesn't care for. Thankfully though, there's filters in most every app now. The ones further along in their Lemmy journey tend to use them instead of complaining about having to see things repeatedly.

Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you've got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I'm interested in, I don't read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don't care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don't enjoy it, I'll leave, it's that simple.

You don't have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It's not worth spending your energy on something you can't control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren't already dead.

For me it's only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it's being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I'll have find another social media platform.
