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.
What do you mean?
The appeal to the lowest common denominator has taken over just about every subreddit. Also just straight up uninformed takes are everywhere. One example was an upvoted thread piling onto the idea that they were going to vote for Bernie Sanders in 2024. 1) he’s not running 2) he endorsed Biden 3) that’s not now a US political party operates with an incumbent president.
The intellectual level of the site has been on a decline for quite some time. It’s on a collision course with youtube comments.
