I personelly think lemmy users doesn't just have that reddit feel where if you referenced something most people will get it or when you say something everyone will say the same thing and fill the thread .and people on lemmy seems to think they are absolutely right.

(EDIT :I am not saying i miss these thing or like them even though i kinda do i am just saying things like that were a part of reddit culture like how 4chan have their on culture. Like lemmy is supposed to be a reddit alternative but now there are no niche subs and everyone is too into politics it just doesn't feel like a reddit alternative .) .

I have been on lemmy for more than 2 months and i mostly lurked or had temp accounts with different usernames (there were only one or two which i have now closed) but this place seems more serious than lighthearted fun but i will still stay here becuase f**k corpos . So these are my views and opinion what do you guys think ?

EDIT: I must include one thing which is on reddit i have never had a real account i just made one or two the entire time i used it which were throwaways that i used to view a post from "subs that are not reviewed" and may not be safe (unless in their app of course -logic.exe missing) or comment . Here i have aldready decided to create a permanent account and start contributing to the communities and i have only been here for 2 months. And i guess i just used reddit to access information and just didn't felt the need to have an acc or contrubute .END RANT.

EDIT : DO READ THE EDITS.

EDIT : I AM NOT IMPLYING OR EVEN WANT ANYONE TO GO BACK I REALLY DO WANT LEMMY TO BE BETTER . I AM NIT SHOUTING I AM JUST AFRAID SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA . AND FOR WHAT ITS WORTH IN MY OPINION REDDIT IS SHIT COMPARED TO LEMMY. SO PLEASE NO ONE GO BACK AND IF YOU HAVE ANY REDDIT FRIENDS INVITE THEM HERE.

As for the worst joining Lemmy. I was starting to feel the same way until I deleted my 3 year old .ml account and blocked the lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear instances. Now my feed is quite pleasant and I'm enjoying the place much more all around.

What about those particular instances is so bad?

If you're not familiar, r/ChapoTraphouse was the left wing version of r/The_Donald, complete with trolling and brigading. And like r/T_D, it got banned, then remade, then banned again, etc. Until most of their users switched to lemmygrad and hexbear, particularly the more toxic users.

I assume those are the instances from which I occasionally catch stray misc political statements that seem to be goading me into a fight.

They get bored quickly if you talk to them like people, they target people with tempers. Works well.

Who knows though.

Yeah, they absolutely goad you into a fight then report you for the exact same shit they do/say but you’ll get banned- they won’t.
