I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I’ve seen A LOT of pro corporate bootlicking “fuck the mods” posts and comments. I don’t know if it’s astroturfing or just that so many of the people who actually care left. But a lot of subs have turned horribly toxic and aggressively anti-empathetic.
It’s made it REALLY easy to cut out some like the NFL sub. My sub list is now small enough that I can check it once a week and be fine, kinda like Facebook.
