Cool - but I’m not on Beehaw (I’m on lemmy.world) to add to the confusion, and I see here both an up and down arrow…
Plus there are way more people here who aren’t dicks
Well there are just WAY less people here, and the barrier to entry is still pretty high - dicks (and millions of good people) are still filtered out by this.
I know you all who have been here longer than 3 days are probably sick of the whole “leaving Reddit” post trend here.
Hmm some might be excited to see some new content coming up…
I ended up hearing about Lemmy while browsing today and I deleted my account just now.
Not too hasty I hope.
I’m more of the school that believes we need to create our alternatives to evil empires.
You know - Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Quora - whatever your addictive poison is.
Once similar communities (popular now on Reddit) are mirrored in the Fediverse, then users should find it easier to migrate.
So Fediverse jokes might start being better than r/jokes etc.
Only time will tell, really, whether the toxicity of Reddit will come with us. I’m guessing that people are people, and we’ll just have to see how it pans out.
This is very true.
Sometimes we learn bad habits, and when someone points out that the way most folks do it is actually wrong - they get voted down by most folks who want to justify that, because they’re doing it wrong, then the suggestion is offensive.
