    • signal to noise ratio

    It feels a bit like how Reddit was prior to the digg exodus when overnight pun & lyric threads, ascii art and terminally shit one word responses appeared.

    There is the awareness to the benefit of building slowly will bring, rather than having a an uncontrolled mass exodus, that risks little to no integration to the current curated culture.

    • Transparency

    You can see who the mods are and a mod log and currently, people are giving time to grow the communities rather than welding power.

    • Quality content

    It’s not the same stories getting posted by karma farmers or by bots. It’s more curated.

    • Interactions

    They’re more conversational than adversarial


  • And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems.

    You’re just projecting here.

    I merely pointed out that everything is politics and yet you respond with yet more bleating.

    and their pet issues

    And you respond further by shoving your head further up your own arse.

    Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.

    Are you trying to make yourself out as the victim here?

    What a fucking crybaby!


  • When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing?

    When I see comments like this, it makes 2 things plainly obvious:

    1. The commentor is naive and doesn’t understand that fundamentally ‘politics’ is the power dynamic in every relationship, be that between people, groups or with structures or things such as food.

    It is in everything and connects everything. It defines your relationship and how you interact with the world and it’s relationship to, and interaction with you.

    1. The commentor has enough privilege that they don’t have to worry about politics/power structures on a daily basis.

    Some people can’t see the wood for the trees


  • we’re gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol

    In all seriousness, you really don’t want a mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy instances. It’s better that it’s slowly so growth is managed but even more important, user quality is maintained!

    When the Digg exodus happened, Reddit literally overnight went from a considered discussion board to full of ascii art, 1 line shit witty or pun comments, lyric threads and the signal to noise ratio went to shit.

    On top of that there were constant stability issues that were compounded by all the thickos constantly hammering F5.


  • Any artist I hear online that I like their music, if they dont have a BC page, I suggest they sort one out. What I like about them is that I can stream peoples music via the app but also download it so I actually ‘own’ the music. I also like buying physical releases from artists through there.

    I’ve not sold music through there so I’m not au fait with their terms but I know its not as terrible as all the streaming sites.











  • The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.

    Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn’t fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn’t an equivalent place to go to.

    They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn’t then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.

    Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it’s wandering about and most of the users haven’t realised yet that it’s an empty shell.

    It’s slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it’s now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.
