It has ridiculous memes that overwhelm the āverse.
It has niche subjects that overwhelm the āverse.
It has a hive mind that doesnāt like unpopular opinions even if theyāre correct.
Itās like Reddit before it started clamping down on things that were distasteful when viewed by advertisers or the general public, which I like.
Thereās lots of drama sometimes.
It has mod problems. Sometimes itās the absence of mods.
Itās attracting bots and karma whores, even though itās meaningless here. For now.
Sometimes people show up with an agenda and talk at you instead of with you.
Thank goodness asklemmy isnāt overrun with the same damn stupid sexy sex and other same old shit yet.
Overall Iād say itās better. People realize itās new and the growing pains that the newness means. People are happier to have a discussion and enjoy the growing variety of the fediverse. People are people, though, and some of the same old stuff is showing up.
I voice plenty of unpopular opinions that get downvoted, and do not submit onlyfans type "gee, by boyfriend doesn't like my tits, what do you think?" unpopular opinion type posts. There are plenty of people here who don't want the 'verse associated with reddit.
