    I became the typical Lemmy user with interests in the topics you dislike because of the nature of the reddit migration, but I have to agree with the lack of skinfolk humor. It’s kind of a bummer.

      Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow

        So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about “coonfigers” and no one has a problem with it.

        Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone’s head too. I guess that’s a good thing?

          Bruh I saw that shit, but I didn’t feel like walking into the comment section to fight that day.

        Reddit has the worst most awful userbase (it was literally created to be a hangout for pedo-nazis) but has the benefit of normal people diluting the toxic shitheads, so as long as the moderators aren’t actively suppressing a community they tend to be pretty normal on average.

        Only problem is that it’s nearly impossible to find a subreddit that isn’t suppressed to shit by both the mods and astroturf bots.

          What do you mean by “actively surpressing a community?”

          Do you have any articles on the origin of Reddit? It came out of Digg, right?

      Actually, I’m kind of curious:

      What do you mean “because of the nature of the reddit migration?”

        I mean that I became more interested in FOSS, privacy, and cybersecurity because I was (and remain) angry at reddit and all walled garden ass social media platforms.

          That’s what i thought you meant. Thanks!

          in my case, the diaspora didn’t change me so much as it displaced me.

          Now I’m here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there’s more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn’t serve me (yet?)

            I kinda do the same thing. I’ll go through spurts of posting in music communities here (as well as commenting, for better or worse) and I use Beeper to check my discord and twitter group chats, but I mostly bounce between Lemmy and Bluesky, if only to avoid “the algorithm” and the non stop scrolling that comes with it.
