I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.
Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.
when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.
I’m getting tired of seeing those comments, it’s giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don’t want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting
It’s so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don’t understand people who don’t want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead
I know this technically isn’t the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.
Also Meta wants to join the fediverse with Threads.
A lot of it is just people talking about their social media ex, but it IS part of a larger discussion about taking the internet back from corporations.
