    I went to some threads on Reddit yesterday. Bloody hell there a lot of shit to wade through before getting to anything useful. It might be more engagement, but the amount of low-effort garbage comments turned me around really quick.

        Yeah mate you found one good comment. How much shit did you read before you found it? These comments are highlighted because they’re the exception. I’m not interested in wading through tons upon tons of “this” and “came here to say this” and “you win the internet sir” before I find a good comment on quantum physics.

            I don’t think you’re a shill. There a plenty of normal people on Reddit, enjoying the content like before. While I despise Spez, I can’t discount that they have created a product that people want to use.

            But there are also plenty of people who, like me, saw a decline in the average quality of content over the last x number of years. A move to the lowest common denominator. Comments like your example were more frequent years ago relative to today.

            Lemmy feels like Reddit when I joined 11-ish years ago. That’s why I’m here now.

                Then why do you accuse me of faking things when I tell you what I experienced?

                I didn’t. You posted a comment and I didn’t say it was fake?

                /r/europe and /r/de were the only places worse than Lemmy.

                Then why are you here?

                Both from gaming subs that tend to have a healthy mix between meme and non-meme stuff

                Sounds like a difference of opinion

                    That’s called a question. Wasn’t an attack. You’re the one who went looking for an argument.

                    To date, you’re the only toxic user I’ve found on Lemmy, so well done.

                    Beat you to it, see ya.
