Sometimes it's the quality of the shit posts and not the post shits. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] atempuser23@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mtat@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago People who use lemmy are more likely to be power users. The people who use their reddit account once a month generally don't know or care about the issues that caused a lot of us to migrate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago I think the users on here tend to be active on the site in general rather than just a few specific subreddits. And also the small amount of users all interacting on the same communities gives the entire site the feeling that smaller subreddits used to have. Which was always infinitely better than big subreddits will millions of users, infested with bots. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago Diarrhea doesn't always win. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Afrazzle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Yep, reddit got too big for its own good. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dodgeit@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 years ago Some of that prime, homegrown free range organic shit posting permalink fedilink source parent
