this is where there can be disagreement, specifically if someone wants help with an issue they don’t care if the person is great thunburg or x_h1tt1er42069_x they just want a solution
I’m just not wasting my time trying to have a conversation with x_h1tt1er42069_x. I can find him at anytime on Reddit if I have a problem that only he has a Solution.
Having such a person in this community wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience.
Oh yeah sure. I’m here after all, jumped ship from Reddit a year or so ago and I actually prefer Lemmy.
I jumped ship from twitter to mastodon around the same time. And while I like the idea of mastodon and I like the interface, fact is that Reddit / lemmy is a different sort of usage from twitter / bluesky / mastodon. Twitter I mostly used to keep up with my favourite content creators, and occasionally shout at clouds. Those content creators just aren’t on mastodon, they’ve mostly moved to bluesky. Those are the users that are the foundation of a platform like that. So yeah, I use lemmy and bluesky now.
TBH I’m not sure mastodon could scale up big anyway - it would be a nightmare trying to regulate bad content and comply with local laws etc.
I’m always shocked by the number of of BlueSky fans that show up on Lemmy. If they don’t care about centralization why are they here and not on Reddit?
Because they’ve been told it’s federated and don’t understand that it really isn’t. My bluesky profile reads “Created a profile until you all figure out Bluesky is another Twitter.”
All I use it for is to read post from people not on mastodon and to reshare my bridged posts from mastodon.
Yeah, but bluesky has users.
I’m pretty happy with engagement in the Fediverse.
Exactly.
Communities are not higher quality with a million people. Small communities where you can know who the other posters are are a much better experience.
If there are other posters…

There can be disagreement about anything.

Me too I love the hate bots.
So does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?
