MODERATORS
everything will be replaced eventually in time but whether lemmy will replace reddit (in this case) is the question.
I don’t think Lemmy will replace Reddit, just like Mastodon didn’t replace Twitter. But I think we can build them into great alternatives for people who want to avoid using the big corporate originals (like me).
I personally don't want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I'm scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.
Yeah, the discourse on Reddit hasn’t been good in years and years. Normies using it was good for numbers, but the content suffered greatly. I like reading sentences that have at least a semblance of structure.
When I first joined Reddit I remember thinking the conversations on there were more insightful than on other sites. Recently it's been the exact same poor quality of content. Since the exodus (in the couple of threads I've lurked) I've noticed it's got FAR worse in such a short period of time.
Yesterday I checked in on Reddit and read some comments under a video of an older man getting called out for taking creep shots of a girl in public. A good ~50% of the comments were saying he's allowed to take photos in public ??? It was honestly disgusting.
