What is a stance you hold that goes against your personal preferences but you believe is the right thing to do? (feddit.uk)

For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

I think many people on here, me included, would rather be using Reddit simply because of all the content.

[-] MooseTheDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Honestly tho it's been downhill over there. I'm getting old reddit vibes here and I'm cool with never posting on reddit ever again.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Reddit is still better for communities based around hobbies (at the moment at least) just due to it's shear size.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I find discord servers are filling that in much better for me

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm probably behind the times. How do you find stuff on discord?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Garbage is more entertaining than the same 5 political posts reposted between 40 instances and the only OC being posts that bitch about Reddit. This place is NOTHING like old reddit.

Sorry but not sorry, this place is borderline worthless. Until sometime figures it how to keep every sub becoming a commission echo chamber this is an interesting experiment that is dead in the water.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Then why are you here bitching about it?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize stating the reality precluded me from having an interest in an open protocol or interest in seeing these communications evolve.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

If you hate a thing, it's really easy to avoid it usually, particularly in this case

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

This is what I'm seeing here.

"Lemmy would be better if it wasn't an echo chamber. There's no variety in opinion."

"Well, if you don't agree with us you can leave!"

🤦🏻‍♂️

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Where "agree" means "don't find it to be a shitty platform"

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Just seems like an odd thing to get defensive about.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

And it seems odd to me to use a platform to talk about how much you dislike it.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

If you don't like it Giiiiiiiiiit out!

It's painful to see the technically adept push away everyone away.

The reason I was/am still here (for now) is this was the only true FoSS platform. I don't like that bluesky and meta are our best hope at an open platform.

But yeah fuck me for pointing out that this user base is toxic doomers who have poor communication skills.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

user base is toxic doomers who have poor communication skills.

Trying to make that one a fact eh?

[-] WordBox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm here for the distinct lack of content. I can browse for a bit, hit the bedrock loop of top 6hr, and come back hours later. It's not endless here... And it shouldn't be.

If I need info for a niche, I'll find a forum. Lemmy, reddit, etc are poor places for such things anyway.

[-] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk -1 points 2 months ago

And some variety in the userbase as well. This is quite the echo chamber. Not that reddit wasn't but Lemmy is even worse in that sense.
