      Reddit bailed out people who were unhappy with digg 2.0 then they slowly went all corporate and ended up being the same damn thing.

      I worry that in a couple years time, some corpo will start an instance, hoover up everyone with custom style and features then slowly defederate and leave us undertraveled.

      I agree, reddit is so stagnant. I didn’t join in its prime by any means, but the place is so different since 2023. Thats what booting all the competant mods and going public does.

    It’s so weird to read this, because other than a dork messaging me saying they were going to report me to the FBI I’ve had nothing but a lovely time on Lemmy.

      What would the Federal Boob Inspectors want with you? Got a nice pair? I’m jealous.

        On Livejournal back in the day you could list interests in your profile, like if you liked music or sports or whatever and you could search each other that way to find new friends. One Christmas an LJ friend had a “naked Christmas party”, where we all posted photos of ourselves naked, so I submitted my first and only topless photo online ever, minus my face, and a bunch of my friends made up an interest category for my “(username) incredible rack”. That was 25 years ago, and I’ll say with modesty that they still look pretty good. That was a fun time.

      I just don’t respond to hostile comments on Reddit or here. It makes life much easier. It saves me time too - if my comment is 2 sentences and someone replies to me with 2 very lengthy paragraphs, I just pass.

    This is some cope mechanism or some Stockholm syndrome right there.

    Agree tbh. Drag invited drag’s friends to use Lemmy and they were treated horribly by the community. Drag is addicted to the platform and wouldn’t wish that addiction on anyone. Except Elon Musk.

      But at least you tried to solve other people’s addictions to Lemmy by telling them to commit murder/suicide. Multiple people. Very kind of you.

        Drag surely did tell people to murder Nazis, but you’ve made up a story about telling them to commit suicide as well. Probably because you knew murdering Nazis is a good thing, even though you hate it. Drag told them to avoid killing themselves.

          See, the problem with stupid lies like this is that the modlogs are public.

          And now it’s time for you to get onto one of your sockpuppet accounts to talk about how mean people are being to you.

    Honestly I had some really bad experiences here on Lemmy. I So bad, that in fact I contemplated going back to Reddit because it didn’t feel much different. I surely went from recommending my friends to delete Reddit to towards more of a “just quit Reddit altogether but there’s no good alternative”
