I can't read comments over there anymore, they've become some of the biggest bootlickers on the site. Moving to Lemmy was a very effective way to filter out all the dipshits.

Fucking same. I hope someone recognizes their scab usernames and kicks them out of private pirate communities because such people are legit a massive opsec hole. But who am i kidding there noobs are probably just leeching off pirate bay only

While I was not the intended target, that got kinda personal toward the end :P

They were happy to come in and get everything for free from us, now that they are inconvenienced by a decade of content production/moderation being screwed over, they don't care at all.

I joked at first, but I think there's some serious brain drain going on.

It’s nuts, the drop in quality since even two weeks ago(let alone 2 years ago) is actually insane. I always thought 90-9-1 was a bit of copium by users wanting to feel more important than they were, but even the relatively small protests/migration has torpedoed the atmosphere generally.

It made me realize that the general quality of reddit had gone severely downhill, but more slowly and imperceptibly. This recent migration just really highlights that. Now looking at what's left it's really reminding me of what I used to like about it and how little of that is left. The slow and steady growth of lemmy is really exciting to see because it's a good portion of the folks who were interested in the community/content aspect of reddit.
