I’ve been wanting to quit reddit for a long time. It hasn’t been the same for years, and it’s just gotten worse over time. I’m hoping that lemmy provides me something close to what reddit used to give me: great quality discussion and debate concerning real ideas. Maybe I’m just getting older and more bitter over time, but it seems like the entire website is inundated with children on mobile devices who can’t think of any idea more complex than one which can be summed up in a single sentence and a Laughing Crying emoji. If not, I’ll see if I can’t get a tildes invite. But, yes, going back to reddit feels like cheating on a diet, or smoking a cigarette when you’re trying to quit.
