I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
Oh man, I say that I’m honestly asking because I really don’t know and I still get downvoted. That’s hilarious.
Anyways, I really haven’t experienced anything new besides a bug with the comments. Sometimes it loads the comments from a different post, so they obviously forgot to update the value of a variable somewhere in the code, and the comments are referencing a post I already saw.
Besides that, it’s the same as before. Bots, karma farmers, insane mods… it feels the same as 2 years ago.
I meant even far before 2 years ago, where reddit was not bs.
