This is something I've been thinking for the past few weeks, and one of the reasons I come here rarely now. Every second post I come across somehow includes topics like capitalism, liberalism, Biden, or Trump. While I don't have issue with such content, my primary intention here is to find humorous content, enjoy cat videos, and perhaps read interesting stories.

Lemmy initially lived up to expectations, but it has been on a downhill since then. It appears that the average users have shifted nack to Reddit. What remains here now is a politically retarded group of individuals.

A few days back, when GTA VI trailer was released, I came to Lemmy to see what people think of the game only to find everyone talking shit and out of context, while the entire reddit community was celebrating the moment.

Thanks. This is the most appropriate and cheerful response I've gotten so far. Maybe I could have handled the situation in a better way. I'll be apologizing to her.

That is what I was trying to do for the past two months, talk in a civil way. And by her posts and stories on social media, it doesn't look like she's going through anything dramatic in her life (very low chances that i can be wrong here)

I don't understand the rationale behind admins compelling mods to reopen the subreddits. Aren't subreddits meant to be created and managed by the Reddit community? Shouldn't it be the community's decision to either close it or continue running them?

Because greed. I remember reading an article 5 years ago on how everything will be subscription based and it keep getting worse.

I know it has taken Reddit several years to where it is right now.
