Also, with the way people are around here, a Facebook or Google centred community would just be smartasses shitting on Facebook and Google and anyone that tries to post about them.
I see this hasn't changed much since I was last here on Lemmy. Even this comment chain, I'm replying to, instead of suggesting nicely to OP to start a community and get something going here, it's snark and sarcasm. And I know that would put me off, if I was considering making a community before that.
You know, we say that but Reddit had and has more snark and sarcasm than even this place and they seem to have all the communities.
Just start a community, and if people show up to your little pod of Facebook Marketplace reposting enjoyers and shit on your parade, show them the fucking door.
Yeah I hate Facebook and Google and I wouldn’t willingly participate in those; but there is plenty of AI related shit in my All feed here that I just ignore because, while I fucking hate the religion created around generative AI those people aren’t bothering me.
Now Nazi’s on the other hand I will gladly chase the fuck outta here. But you can, as a moderator, just delete the snark from your new community. The software just lets you do it.
Yeah that's fair. Although Reddit also has a lot more users, so the snarky people and the ones that can't just scroll past something they don't like stick out more.
So I think, in terms of conversations like this where the bottom line is there's just not enough users to have all the same communities as Reddit, people could maybe be a bit friendlier to noobs or towards communities they don't like.
Like, I remember when I first got here, I was still interested in discussing Reddit, so I was around the Reddit community for a bit. And I remember so many people around there just interacting in bad faith. Yes we know Reddit is shit, thanks, your take is isn't hot, it's years old.
It wasn't completely off putting but pretty fucking annoying. In general it's pretty fucking annoying.
But as you say, Reddit was the same, so it's not like it's a Lemmy specific issue. And probably can't be helped without iron fisted levels of moderation that no one wants.
Turns out, people actually like snark and most attempts to quell it have been vastly more about appearing "advertisers friendly" than actually appeasing any user bases.
