I mean, the behavior of the community speaks for itself. They try so hard not being the thing they ran from three years ago, but in the midst of their attempt, they end up evolving into the very thing they ran from. Its like they just didn't like being on the platform of origin, promised they'd do better, then realizing how separated they are to where they just recreated it by instinct.

Power-Tripping Mods, Gaslighting Users, Immature Moderators, 100 Rules to follow but contradicts itself .etc

I can just go on and on and on. Oh and I don't even care about this stupid debate that happened between .ML and .World because there's virtually no difference and it is just nothing but a sissy online slapfight.

Lemmy is not Reddit and I'm so glad it's not. It's nowhere near as buggy for a start, and if an instance has issues you can just hop on to and browse another one instead of the whole fediverse and communities being inaccessible like on Reddit. Reddit was one of the most buggy things I'd ever used and I lost count the amount of times I had to close the app and reopen it again because profiles or posts would not load.

And another fantastic thing I just found out: karma has almost no meaning here!!! Not like on Reddit where a low enough karma could get your account in trouble and stop your posts and comments being seen. Here on Lemmy you can continue to have actual discussions without anything stupid like that getting in the way. People can contribute from day one without fear of shadowbans!!

So whatever problems Lemmy and the fediverse may have, I will take it any day over the buggy and karma obsessed cesspit that Reddit has become. Reddit used to be a place for disscussion when I joined there 5 years ago, now it's just a collection of data harvesting echo chambers.

Lemmy is what Reddit used to be.
