I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.

Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.

    I switched back after some drama with a petty mod. I’ve found that so far, the quality of content on Reddit just isn’t there anymore. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s hot garbage. Unfortunately, the niche content I enjoyed and sometimes relied on just isn’t here, so now I flip back and forth between them.

    I’m still beyond pissed about 3rd party apps, though. The official Reddit app is a steaming pile that wants to be TikTok SO BAD.

      Why not just access via browser? If they try to hit you with the “unverified” or “NSFW” content pop up, just put ‘old.’ before reddit in the URL. I refuse to put that shit app on my phone for spez to use as a data farm.
