People who have been on Lemmy since the very initial reddit API debacle, or before even that, how much do you think it has changed? (sh.itjust.works)

Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.

My main gripe with mainstream Reddit now is the engagement baiting that people are falling for all the time. "What are you thoughts on [Controversial Topic]?" If there is a new exodus from Reddit coming, I really really really wish all the baiting to be left behind and moderators to remove it on the Fediverse.

    If you join an Opinionated instance (think blahaj, slrpnk, dbzer0, multiverse) then those posts are funny because it's mostly everyone agreeing on Controversial Topic and congratulating each other.

    there has been a huge uptick in engagement bait here since the new year. i have had to block people who post it on almost a daily basis the past two months.
