Nah

Lemmy feels similar enough

I experienced Reddit taking over BBs, Facebook taking over MySpace, the death of Netlog…so much change and I’m too young to have experienced BBS and Usenet in their prime even

It always expected reddit going to shit at some point. Commercial platform without open standards = pain once management makes poor strategic decisions

The “pro-capitalist” thing isn’t bad IMHO

With Reddit users moving to Lemmy, attitudes on Lemmy become closer to reddit mean: Leaning mid-left due to the majority of users being young western people with many IT workers among them

I remember from the time when Mastodon was very young that many Mastodon instances were explitly far-left,anti-capitalist, queer, or all of this. This caused most other instances to be full.of users who don’t want that so even apolitical instances turned into far-right asshole circlejerks

Then both sides started to federate only among each other

Its not like Trumpists,Incelas and such are the majority. I’d rather deal with some shitty communities on a large instance rather than have to think about who to federate with again with half the instances blacklisted. Its not like we can prevent them from using Lemmy anyway. At least some of them might be positively influenced by exposure to other viewpoints

Maybe many subs will just fizzle out into irrelevance once power users moved away and NSFW got blocked. Then they can have their IPO of platform in decline

All the users posting one-liners or reposting Memes at aww,videos,soccer and other large subs are not what makes Reddit great. Its OC content going viral on large subs and the deduction of mods and some power users on small subs

New feddit.de user reporting in

Ze Germans seem to have their own monopolistic instance
