I'm so disappointed in how Lemmy has turned out (lemmy.world)

I came here in November of last year looking for an alternative to reddit, and in that time, this space has transformed to look more like reddit than I ever expected it to become.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't just reddit all over again with a smaller userbase.

Well sorry this hasn't worked out. Between june 2023 to aug 2023 this site turned to be more like reddit in some ways and less of a niche site... in both good ways and bad.

If you want a forward path of action from here, maybe make a thread to brainstorm how it can be better. Perhaps define a space that fits your philosophy and see if there's a match with something existing.

See beehaw.org. They are disconnected from lemmy.world and their main rule is to be(e) nice. It's one rule, it's subjective to avoid rules lawyering, and fairly applied, you get some leeway with warnings if your behaviour is problematic.

Just remember that mods are unpaid volunteers like Reddit, so the ones dedicated enough to donate their time and energy to mod tend to be terminally online. They take a lot of abuse from people and that fatigue grows over time and with an increasing userbase.
