I was hoping that by being such a small and growing community I could help influence it’s growth.
But watching how incorrect things about economy/business are upvoted, I’m getting sick of being down voted for having an economics degree and attempting to share some knowledge.
Well said on all counts.
Reddit was never perfect, but in my 12+ years there, it was never as bad as Lemmy has been the entire time I’ve been here.
Basically I’m only still active here because Reddit’s mobile app is such trash and Lemmy is more convenient to browse from a phone.

For me its the growing extremist stances and ragebait articles, now that its got more users, the horrendous lack of moderation is starting to show
It’s a 50/50 chance that something I post gets downvoted to hell and it doesn’t seem to matter what I actually said.
On the bright side, I’ve seen more posts calling it out lately, so maybe things can start to turn around.
