Reddit was a death of 1000 cuts.
The strictness of communities. Shadowbans. Intercommunity drama. Overly critical usrers and doomers. Removing the ability to see upvotes/downvotes. Old reddit slowly going away. Api changes.
One day i just found i wasnt having fun on reddit anymore. It was just doomer content rolled into just another social media. I spent 12 years on that platform and l learned a lot. But now its mostly its just clickbait and drama to keep you on.
So i went on lemmy, contributed to the code for a bit. Found i liked piefed because of the better fediverse interop. Stayed here and contributed a tiny bit of code.
I hate to tell you this, but you left New York and ended up in New Jersey.
Hah! Im gonna have to use this
NGL, there's parts of Jersey that are lovely.
I really meant that they left one thing for something very close to what they left
Maybe its because im on piefed now, but my feed is VERY nice and healthy (mentally).
SHUT UP, WEENIE BOY!!!
nah jk
I did. Mostly because at my age and with my shit eyesight, I was looking for something I was familiar with layout wise.
Old lemmy to the rescue! It's nice here, like Reddit was many, many years ago. Small, community-based and not rage-bot driven.
My word, as I look back on how Reddt pivoted in the last 5 years, I really can see it now.
This is really like the nice parts of Jersey. It's lovely compared to the fiasco I left.
I'm glad we're here together, brother.
Sister, actually.. :)
I'm pleased to be here and glad you are too.. Thank you for the kindness and you are most very welcome my friend!
Don’t forget the view in app and the constant sign in notifications. Fuck off. You’re a glorified website that should keep ya nose out.
Lol im litterally using firefox on mobile right now.
Its ok to have an app, but wtf at least dont get rid of existing funtionality that works much worse...
Now we have interinstance drama!
oh god the intercommunity drama. I got banned for one group just for participating in another. Reminds me of middle school when I felt forced to pick between two fighting friends. 🙄
Right now, you cant say meshcore (like the word) in the meshtastic subreddit. You would never know until people started getting randomly banned. LOL sometimes its just want one mod decided for the others.
I just dropped in there to seeif my particular device is having issues and bam more drama.
