This. The whole circlejerk about how much better Lemmy is and how people are so glad they left reddit is getting really old, really fast. Meanwhile, any interesting post that would be normally spur fervent and meaningful discussion on reddit has maybe a dozen comments on Lemmy, most of them low effort. Heck, this exact same article on reddit's r/technology has 10x more comments and way more total engagement.

The spam and toxicity here are the same as on reddit with a different tone. Lemmy is just another echo chamber with a different coat of paint, and the only differences are a lack of ads and way less people and diversity to interact with.
