I am a simple man. I make computers, I take photographs, I compose music, and I explore caves.
Yes, you are totally right! I do think that there is an ideological disconnect, though, since Lemmy is more of a long-form text site and Mastodon is more of a podium-and-audience deal. Perhaps if content was “cross posted” instead, that might help separate things. Just rolling off the top of my head
This! I’m glad to see many tech-minded folks on Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same neckbeard self-importance that Reddit seems to be known for
Not just boring, but self-important and toxic… The culture of that site was a disaster even before Elon got his grubby hands on it
Just because the ActivityPub protocol lets Lemmy and Mastodon interact doesn’t necessarily mean they should… Of course, I say that as we interact between the two!! It’s an interesting design dilema that I’m sure will receive more thought as the platforms grow
So true… I think the worst thing about interacting with people on Reddit is getting downvoted to Hell if you say something sarcastic without “/s”
