Lemmy feels more like Reddit used to. Still rough around the edges, but with less... pressure?

Fewer bots, no advertising, less uhh... I'm gonna call it gentrification.

It's like visiting that same shitty dive bar in your home town that will never die, when everything else has changed.

I much prefer this, but I can see why people would want something more polished.

The boy thing is huge too, on Reddit there are your typical reposti-bots but also the weird comment bots people have created, and I don’t mean the Obi-Wan bots and stuff like that, but the weirder ones that steal other peoples comments, or have interactions. Kinda gives me the creeps.

I think reddit gentrifying is a great way to putting it. Even if the 3PAs weren't killed, reddit had a lot of issues. I was getting really sick of the 300k karma farma bots regurgitating content all the time. I much prefer to see regular people regurgitating content on a smaller scale with no competitive ranking. Karma was cool when it wasn't farmed like plasma on a stallion ranch.

Rough around the edges is part of what makes it feel like reddit used to 😅

Honestly the community here so far seems sooo much less toxic than what I was experiencing on Reddit. Stoked to part of the lemmy boom and excited to see where things go from here

Well, I definitely like Lemmy.

Just joined after the departure of Boost for Reddit- tried the Reddit app for about 20 minutes but was overwhelmed by the adverts so deleted it in disgust! Happy to be here.
