Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

More mature? Bro, we’re all reditors. It’s the same fucking crowd.
It’s really hard for openly reactionary communities to get a hold here, because rather than being given free reign by fiat, they get defedded. The reactionaries are definitely here, and lemmy.world among other open instsnces are a bit of a haven for them, but even lemmy.world has to make concessions to the fact that if they become too much of a shithole then the other instances will make alternatives and render them irrelevant.
It turns out that without a big daddy institution to shelter them, reactionaries don’t thrive, their communities can’t metastisise, and they are super unpopular. That’s the big difference.
It feels like we are more the early adopter tech savvy redditors though. As user ~2000 of Reddit, Lemmy feels very much like Reddit did prior to the Digg migration (after which things seemed to dumb down considerably).
Nah I’m too cheap to be an early adopter unless it’s kitchen appliances
Lemmy is at least as cheap as the alternative.
I will pay you if you let me give you checkmarks. Please be my friend
I will gladly take your money.
Yeah but only people who didn’t find what they were looking for in reddit are here. Which is essentially a good thing haha
Just calling it like I see it. I’m sure everyone’s experience is different.
