I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
It will be easier to quit reddit as they essentially certainly will make even more astoundingly stupid decisions that make things even worse in pursuit of IPO and profitability.
If reddit exists in 5 years, itll basically be a total laughing stock with only the most die hard, most insufferable, most god complexed and most stereotypical /reddit/ users, basically viewed with as much derision as maybe say 8chan is now.
We’re already quickly approaching that reality. It’s pretty well enshittified
