    I can only compare to Lemmy so:

    • There is way more content

    • The people are way nicer

    • There is way more topics covered

    • There is way less activism

    • You get a broader spectrum of opinions, not just Left wing Memes/Linux/Activism/American Politics

    • Did I mention people are nicer? My gosh it’s so much better

        Have you looked at Lemmy’s popularity? like 99% of people left and went back to reddit

          I haven’t noticed a problem. Still plenty of content and people. Good discussions.

          If all those people left, and the quality hasn’t dropped, good riddance.

              That sounds like a filter problem. Yes, politics slips through, but if you flag keywords it becomes quite manageable.

              This place isn’t like reddit. It’s not going to have an algorithm to curate for you. You gotta DIY.

          I strongly suspect you’d have a better time here if you didn’t complain about Lemmy every other comment or come into a discussion being blatantly wrong accusing “The Lemmy” of deciding a movie is a satire of facism (you know, something it’s director stated years ago) or griping about muslims every other comment. Also weird percentage to claim given you were shown the figures of Lemmy MAU recently.

            oh this is for me not for you

            or come into a discussion being blatantly wrong accusing “The Lemmy” of deciding a movie is a satire of facism (you know, something it’s director stated years ago)

            my god who cares

            or griping about muslims every other comment.

            lmao i have 4000 comments of which maybe 100 are about islam, but sorry i triggered you

            you know how i know how much this place sucks and only has 10 users?

            because only on lemmy do i get people following me around giving me advice on how to enjoy lemmy “properly”, on every other forum people just enjoy themselves

            good night, sleep tight, don’t bother replying thanks

              my god who cares

              I mean you cared enough to go on a paragraph long screed about it, went into negatives and now are here complaining about Lemmy not being nice to you?

              triggered

              don’t bother replying thanks

              Alright so you’re an arsehole who complains when everyone treat them like the arsehole they are, ok. I would say it’s ironic the guy constantly complaining Lemmy is mean to him calling people triggered, but whatever helps you deal with all I guess.

                Sorry m8, you must have only noticed me today because I have been bitching about Lemmy being a shitty place for like 2 years now

                btw

                Lemmy is so full of precious little activists it cannot handle anyone even ASKING why reddit is growing

                  You’re quoting my referencing your more recent comments. My comment also contains the word “constantly”.

                  Like you dodge it each time you’re asked why, but you are still here. You clearly prefer it, or god forbid, appreciate it equally to reddit. So I just don’t get tthe point complaining all the time. Everything you disagree with is always akin to “precious activist” or “Lemmy decided”. Like old mate said, the OP question gives off a disingenuous vibe and reddit shit gets downvoted all the time here (also doesn’t really fit in shitposting either). Complaining about it is just pissing into the wind.

                  Like legit, if I felt that way about a website, I’d leave. Fuck I left reddit due to the API shit, so I’ve left sites for less. That said, I’ve definitely blocked entire instances here due to shitty behaviour, so I’m not trying to claim this place isn’t without its cunts. Which is hardly unique to Lemmy. It helps when this instance doesn’t federate with a lot of the worser places here. However, you sound and behave like you, at best, need a break from the place.

                    I did go back to reddit sadly, it’s such a relief and I post here significantly less than I used to

                    However before reddit like 15 years ago I was active on OCAU and Whirlpool forums, I was happy but then reddit consumed all the forums and now they’re as dead as this place so I have to make do with whatever non-American content/media I can, sadly this non-American social media got taken over by the Americans anyway :(
