Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.

Shit Facebook uncle take.

Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.

It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.

Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?

Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!

Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.

Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

Too late… People are reporting posts for literally using the “wrong” words or for someone expressing anger over something. It’s like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

Welcome home! Digg and Reddit had their times.

Seriously? The communities here mirror the subreddits back there.

Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

We all left reddit for one or two reasons. But reddit has a lot of issues, one or two of which would bug each of us.

If you want us to be sure we don’t accidentally make Lemmy into reddit2, you need to itemize the borderline stuff so we don’t accidentally be dicks due to something you think is obvious and we think is arbitrary.

I don’t wanna be a dick. I’m a blunt asshole but I don’t wanna be a dick. Help me out. Help others out.

I just want to smoke weed, not smoke weed while living somewhere way out of my price range in terms of cost of living. Is that really so unreasonable of a thing to want?

The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.
