I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I feel like Lemmy is like the salty friend who can’t get over their ex and gets off on the issues going on in their life without them.
Ehh, more like were are all hanging out at a local bar and the owner all of a sudden got a case of assholeism. Started going fucking nuts, screwing with food/drink quality and availability, started fucking over the servers and bartenders. We hate him and want all the good people to get out and the place to burn to the ground.
It’s not that simple. People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit. There’s also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions, and they decide on what platform they participate in.
People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit.
So much of the community atmosphere of the site has been undercut and replaced by automated accounts that generate content from historical human conversations. Like, straight up, whole content threads get lifted and shifted between posts to create the illusion of participation. If you’ve been on the site for a while, its downright surreal.
Between that and the militant banning of anyone who isn’t an empty-headed twit or a reflexive cheerleader, there’s very little human activity left on the site to speak of. You’re not in a community, you’re in a graveyard. Most of the people you’re talking to are digital ghosts.

Less and less by year. Again, it can’t be stressed how much of Reddit is entirely automated. A handful of accounts, often directly or indirectly managed by the source of the content, are doing the lion’s share of the posting and commenting. Real human interaction is being minimalized. Reddit’s real money isn’t in posters anymore, its in lurkers. You’re supposed to look, not touch.
It’s not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.
It’s how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.
I don’t disagree with you. However, when I see a post like this every day it gets old to me. Though to be fair, Lemmy content doesn’t come from a single person and everyone on here is at a different phase in their journey.
Ok, but there’s also post from 4chan, Xitter, Facebook, and everywhere else on the internet. Reddit, and now Lemmy, grab information and memes from literally everywhere so you don’t have to.
There’s always going to be a subject someone doesn’t care for. Thankfully though, there’s filters in most every app now. The ones further along in their Lemmy journey tend to use them instead of complaining about having to see things repeatedly.
Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you’ve got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I’m interested in, I don’t read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don’t care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don’t enjoy it, I’ll leave, it’s that simple.
You don’t have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It’s not worth spending your energy on something you can’t control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren’t already dead.
For me it’s only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it’s being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I’ll have find another social media platform.
We are here to discuss Luigi and how regime is steering the narrative. Reddit is a major social media platform so them supressing Luigi discussion is relevant. Plus a great opportunity to take reddits users;)
Honestly I like these kinds of posts as it lets me know that I made a good choice to not go back to Reddit. Plus I can show these to people I know who still use Reddit which might push them away as well.
Most of the posts about Reddit are on the dedicated community.
They get usually downvoted to oblivion anywhere else, you’re not the only one feeling that way.
Musk is another story, but unfortunately he seems to be in too many news. You can always filter his name in your app or web client like voyager (https://vger.app/)

And it’s not like reddit isn’t still relevant to us, you know? We also get bsky and twitter posts on here

I say what’s the internet for if not an outlet for me to complain ;-)
That’s fair. My earlier comment was an outlet for me to bitchy so I feel ya
Sorry bout that haha

Wow you really took the seriousness level in this thread from a 2 to a 20
Yes but this is not it.

In this case, the ex is an influential person with millions of friends, so what they do matters.
And horrifically abusive.

It’s honestly a big part of why I don’t spent as much time here. Half the posts are just complaining about what Reddit/Elon are doing.

It has calmed down a lot compared to June 2023
