    I mean yeah, we WERE founded because we didn’t want to support shitty business practices from Reddit but we wanted a good Reddit substitute

    But we get good posts that aren’t Reddit drama too

    I’m pretty happy with the content and I haven’t seen reddit drama in a while.

    I just miss video game content. All the video game communities I’m subscribed to get posts with like 2 comments maximum.

      Yeah, must be the communities he follows. I do miss the car community. The Integra subreddit was pretty nasty about me showing off my 2023 Integra though.

      I think part of that is how many echo chamber instances have defederated from each other.

    I’ve seen minimal drama in my year here since migrating. In fact, people are surprisingly civil, and their responses to controversial topics are usually well thought out, rather than some cobbled together take based on several rote conspiracy theories, or edgelord takes. It’s more of a discussion, than some frothing-at-the-mouth neckbeard insisting they are right, not offering credible support for their arguments, and being generally misanthropic.

    It’s nice here. Let’s keep it that way. Remeber, people are allowed to disagree. People are allowed to disagree and the collective discussion doesn’t need to come to an agreement/be solved. A lot of the issues we talk about are way, way, beyond our pay-grades, and even if you eviscerate your opponent, you’re not going to solve the problem, largely due to its complexity and size.

    Moreover, if someone says something on here that makes you question some pre-concieved idea you have, THAT IS A GOOD THING. Don’t just label them a prick and bury your head in the sand. Instead, evaluate your beliefs/understanding. Look at it as a potential learning opportunity. Doubt is meant to be a gut check, not a personal attack. In some cases, people are gut checking themselves by asking these questions.

    Finally, you’re more likely to change a person’s mind if you aren’t a raging asshole about a topic you disagree with them on.

    Chill out. Crack a beer. Laugh at the memes. (Is this the internet version of 'live laugh love?)

    I’ve noticed that the reddit drama mostly comes from folks that just left reddit. Every so often the drama gets through to the folks that have been here for a while. I’ll be honest I’m generally curious about drama when it reaches me, so I don’t mind lmao

    I think i see too much us politics here but that is i guess mostly as i mainly use the all feed but the fact that it is even remotely usable tells how good the content here on average is.

      Almost like pseudonymous forums with no way to tell whether the person on the other end is trolling inherently lend themselves to toxicity or something.

        And there’s Facebook, that is toxic despite people having their real images and the pictures of their loved ones…

    It isn’t reddit drama, it is internet drama.

    Lemmy is still on the internet, so same drama applies.

    I experienced very little drama on reddit. I mostly went to subs like Lord of the Rings memes and Prequel memes and had a good time. Thankfully we have a Lord of the Rings community on lemmy.
