    Reddit also thinks appealing a ridiculous van is harassment, so not exactly the brightest bulbs over there.

      Reddit sucks. They’re the reason I came to Lemmy. They’re absolute trash.

        I started to realize that the thing I liked about Reddit were the analytical and thoughtful people like me on the platform. When I came here, I found that many came over. When I visit Reddit, either because I’m nostalgic or because I have a specific need for something there, I’m finding more and more recent posts that are mostly filled with trash. Sure, some of the insightful, thoughtful and analytical people are still hanging around, but the vast majority has shifted away from that type of person. Reddit has also become so mainstream that is a stone’s throw away from xitter or Facebook in terms of quality. Everyone and their mother is starting a Reddit account.

        I miss when old.reddit.com was just reddit.com.

          I mean, stupidity and group think are just parts of having conversations in large groups as happens on these internet forums. I have not been impressed with the quality of intellect on Lemmy. But at least its not like Reddit where every mildly interesting subreddit has a minimum Karma count of like 30, and at least I’m not getting permabanned left and right over completely benign BS like saying I think Christianity is a net positive. I can say what I want here, and people can downvote it and I might even get mobbed… but at least I’m not being micromanaged.
