I always was confused by that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (3 children) I think blackpeopletwitter came first on reddit and was a pretty big sub because if minorities don't have their own space, their voices aren't heard amongst the majority. Or maybe whitepeopletwitter came first That's the shitty part of everyone just duplicating reddit subs. If Lemmy does take off, a decade from now someone is going to have to explain shit from 20 years ago from another website. It would have been better off to grow organically on its own. But kids wanted to be mods to have all the power but not do any work. So every sub on reddit exists on a every big lemmy instance permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] glimse@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children) BPT was first. I agree with everything you said. The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any "heart" to them. Same names, completely different rules on what can be posted. They're husks of subreddits filled with the most generic shit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any "heart" to them. This would imply that reddit still has heart, which it doesn't. Lemmy is still finding itself. For the majority here, leaving reddit was the whole thing that brought them here. It's going to take time to form its own identity that's less of a shadow of reddit and more of a demonstration of the new communities. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago What I'm saying is that Lemmy communities feel like they took the empty shell of a Porsche and shoved whatever engine they could find in it but still call it a Porsche. Reddit may be soulless but the original subs weren't.
