The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma removed. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve posted in reddit and it instantly gets stolen and used in another sub simply to get easy karma. It’s refreshing to not have that here. That’s all. Thanks!

    That’s why i don’t understand why people just want to make everything reddit 2. A lot of things on reddit are relicts from a cringe time, or some things that clearly didn’t work. And still, people don’t move on, now there is a time to not call everything porn. Foodporn earthporn, it’s so dumb, but people insist. The marijuana subreddit is called trees, so every month someone can make a post about an actual tree and everyone can laugh at this very funny joke.

      Agreed. Reddit has loads of problems sand bad motivations. But I think people are trying to turn lemmy into reddit 2.0 because they lost the actual reddit. Sure, many people wanted less nose and higher quality… But that’s probably not true for most people that signed up over the last month+. They just wanted a reddit alternative.

      I expect that much of the reddit obsession will dissipate as those users settle in and forget about reddit.

        True. But calling trees trees have been around for a much more longer time. So, it’s going to be the dominant thing here
