"Reddit employee" scared that people are gonna move to Lemmy soon.
I put "Reddit employee" in quotation marks because they're giving the vibe that they're praising that website so much.
Welcome to the online world, kid.
Also, I’m pretty sure lemme skews much older than 12. It's 40+ year olds calling you names.
The only real problem with lemme is that it's not big enough to replace most niche communities on larger platforms. If I have a specific question about a hobby, video game, or whatever, I’m not using lemme. I hope to someday.
It's 40+ year olds calling you names.
That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can't do that on Lemmy. That's a grown adult praising North Korea...
That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…
And I'm an even growner adult calling that one names!
Seriously though, you can never be 100% sure. And I'm trying not to be ageist - even to myself.
maybe this is why I have lost all faith in humanity recently...
I mean, North Korea itself is literally run by grown adults.

I'm permanently banned from Reddit because I somewhat pointed out a flaw in about Stardew Valley gameplay wise :( sorry for the late reply.
What specific hobbies do you hope to peruse here?
I miss the machinist subreddit quite a bit. There are some communities here, but they're not very active. I'd post, but I don't do enough machining right now to really generate much content.
Ok, I’m gonna be real with you for a moment. You guys are some of the most wholesome, respectful and emotionally intelligent people I have ever seen online.
Yes, every now and then someone writes something edgy. I am not calling anyone in particular out. I am guilty of this too (as you are about to see in a moment).
But calling users here “12 yr old keyboard warriors” while being on Reddit is probably the dumbest take I have ever witnessed. Which says a lot if you consider we are talking about the website that came up with the CumBox.
In the 5-ish years I was on Reddit I got death threats on a regular basis. I got tagged for the suicide bot multiple times a year. I had some very normal Reddit user send me rape threats followed by animal porn.
And Reddit did nothing.
Meanwhile our admins actually do shit that makes this site better instead of just sucking each other off, crying it’s not the real greedy pig boy they’re orally pleasing.
What I am trying to say is: This is obviously rage bait and I fell for it. Which is soooooooo Reddit and it triggers me that it did so all across the internet.
That suicide bot still being active when it became primarily a tool for harassment is so so stupid.
Fuck you, get fucked you fucking piece of shit!
Just kidding. I love you folks. Cheers.
From what I've seen so far during my short time in Lemmy, there doesn't seem to be any fuss about mods (or lack thereof) being power hungry and that's good. And the people I've interacted with so far seemed to be helpful most of the time, whether I've got a gardening related question. You can't escape hostility anywhere so you just gotta have to eat those sometimes but we move on. I've also gotten the "Reddit cares" bot message because I seemed to have commented something about Stardew valley which wasn't even that bad, but I don't remember what I said but I know what I said wasn't bad to incur such a bot sent my way lol. Glad you (and I) found this place and hope to use this for years to come and hopefully no Lemmy gatekeepers tells us we can't be here 👋🏽
Oh there has been some, but 99% of the time it's someone clearly either mentally (or literally) 10 years old whining about their esgy trolling/dumbass ignorance being removed ... or the tanky admins/mods from .ml banning opinions and news they don't like.
Well, since it's grown ass adults make insults and threats.
Can I have some of those infamous rape threats? 👉 👈
No animal porn please.
It's all the modern convenience we've come to love with the social environment of 15 years ago when using the internet felt fun
What's the bet they're actually just stepping out of an echo chamber for the first time and can't hack being told their opinions are shit
I mean, depending on which instance they joined they could've just as easily stepped into an even smaller echo chamber. Lemmy as a concept isn't magically free from them.
Aren't you making the poster's point for him? You just made a whole new post to call him a "Reddit Employee" because you didn't believe he had the experience he wrote he had.
I’ve found lemmy to be one of the more civil places to go online anymore. I don’t know what this guy is bitching about.
He probably did join a community/instance that are more "on the mean side". I just hope Lemmy being one of the more civil social media out there lasts long lol.
Photons. If it gets popular enough the established platforms will sabotage it. Just enjoy it while you can.
It's as polite as early 2010's reddit was. Some assholes but that's just GIFT we fell from the garden of Eden in September '93 what can ya do. But not the turbo acceleration nasty of torment nexus corpotrash
Lots of name calling
12 year old keyboard warriors
Somebody misplaced their mirror
It's been the absolute opposite for me
Good to see you here!
<3 Good to be here
Same here. Probably that poster is lying and has an agenda. Wouldn’t surprise me if Reddit was running anti-Lemmy bots.
OP made a follow up post:
Almost a week here in lemmy and I still don't know how instances work?
But they haven't commented here or there even once.
Hello mate, how are you? 👋🏽
They are commenting in this thread. Either way, what’s your point?
Sounds like maybe they chose Hexbear as their instance. I haven't seen nearly that much toxicity on Lemmy, except from hexbear users (before defederation).
I don't know what hex is, but at this point I don't wanna know 😅 apologies for the late reply
Imagine 4chan /pol but tankies instead of nazis
That's not my experience. Did they go to a right-wing or ML instance?
That makes sense actually, this is a reddit employee, after all.
I actually find myself having to shed the vitoral of years on reddit over here. Everytime I comment I assume I'll get some horrible response, but then it's helpful... Clearly got some trauma from reddit 😞
Overall Lemmy has been a nicer experience than reddit
Same. But I just got a shit ass response for not supporting murder drones invading our schools
I dunno how this is real. I keep getting shadowbanned on Reddit (when I literally just post technical/fandom comments in 2 niche subs), and I think it’s whenever I link Lemmy.
Framing them as an employee is bad faith. And misleading.
"are there no mods"
LMAO
It’s the internet. Some people are helpful and some people are dicks. It’s just the way it is.
Clearly not for this guy, thinks that Lemmy is the only one out there that is toxic in their opinion 😂
Every social network thinks it's the best and considers everything else to be trash.
There's really no perfect (insert perfect cell meme here) social media lol. Sorry for the late reply
ah, yes because as we all know, reddit is known for its very intelligent conversation
As usual reddit is a day late and a dollar short.
Lmao I know right?
what a poopy dumdum
Man, I could go for some poppadoms right about now
I think the assessment is correct: if not a reddit agent, they are certainly working to advance that platform's distrust of Lemmy.
He's a gosh darned poopy head is what he is
I'm starting to sound like a broken record but it doesn't make any sense! Don't the guy know that it's like that everywhere else (twitter especially), why did they target Lemmy of all things? It sus overall.
What do you mean? I've learnt a lot from Reddit /s
You can post a wholesome post on Reddit and someone will come along being hostile, but then the people will down vote them to oblivion which never fails to make me laugh. I'm perma banned on Reddit for something I don't remember but I'm pretty sure what I've said wasn't even all mean just pointed out a flaw or something like that 😅
but you're here now and that's all that matters, glad you made it 😊
I agree with this 100%. The quality of posts here is abysmal.
Stop making abysmal posts then?
Comments, too 😉
I actually meant to say comments and community, not posts. However the post quality is also bad, yea.
I'd say that's not true. Sure a lot of crap here is reposted lazy grabs from elsewhere, but there is plenty of quality OC. In general, I also find Lemmy to be way less toxic and censorship heavy.
You know, you could try and change that by posting things yourself. Be the change you want to see.
(Why is it always the ones that don't post complaining about the quality of posts?)
It’s really dependent on your instance as well. Lemmy is not homogenous.
I do imagine the comments listed on a YouTube video about gardening have to be different than those in a video about the Philadelphia Eagles. But that's just because it's the city of brotherly love, and those gardeners are fucking vicious.
Meanwhile in a post far far away...
Oh no I'm reading the news too much because I read that as Pedophilia Eagles. Ya'know, the fightin' Epsteins. Yes, very different comments indeed.
I have a Venn diagram overlap for you
Hehe, homogenous. Sorry for late reply.
