At this point lemmy.world is really just reddit 2
There's nothing more to say. It's literally the r/neoliberal post from a week ago, with some more edition because lemmy libs apparently are dumber and can't understand something unless it's spelled to them.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why did these people leave reddit in the first place?
I'd honestly like to know. Looking through their post histories, most of them aren't FOSS geeks and are only active in politics threads.
I hate to say shit like this, but it seems like the reddit astroturf campaigns have come to lemmy
It costs the feds nothing to make an account there and post the exact same stuff they do to reddit. .world is probably completely astroturfed. Wouldn't surprise me if their attempts to defed leftist instances is pushed heavily by the feds too.
Lemmy is far too small for the feds to bother putting effort into destabilising it. It's far more likely that .world is just a bunch of crybabys that dont like it when they're not allowed to be xenophobic
There were many of them last year who were like "I was a
power poster who had N amount of karma, and now I've left it! So long, spez!" so I think some of them left simply because they hedged their bets that they'd be settlers in a land untouched by hecking updooted content.I also think many of them went back after it became obvious R*ddit wasn't going anywhere and the "important" moderators were in fact easily replaceable. When I predicted this at .world many of the libs there were unhappy, but by now I think I've been proven right.
I think you have perfectly described the lemmy.world user. They all process a vague anger about reddit but have no specific critique of it. They don't dislike anything the structure or the culture of reddit, they dislike that they themselves aren't one of the powerusers. They have no interest in building a different vision of the internet or becoming part of a vibrant community, they just want their chance to become a recognizable user while it's easier to make a name for yourself.
Hive mind migration over 3rd party app API drama happened, proving of course that none of them even have an original thought.
Some people don't like the official site that spams ads at you

If using the site on mobile, the interface does everything it can to force you to use the app.
Browser users who don’t like new Reddit’s cancerous UI probably
didn't they update it like 6-7 years ago now? i forget, when I do unfortunately browse r*ddit, I still use the old layout
eh they forced the app on mobile users and have made the browser more and more cancerous to use. Most of the exodus was when they banned 3rd party apps and then simultaneously started making the mobile browser experience unusable
They abandoned new for a newer and worse version of new. Although only learned that when they announced they were killing new.r
Still have no idea what they changed cause only use old
how did they make a worse version of new reddit? that's like making shit smell worse
settler colonial mindset
they saw open territory and went nom nom
I might have thought this was a funny hyperbole at some point but unironically some were arguing .ml should move out of .ml and let .worlders take it over

Something about reddit being less accessible through phone apps and then the stampede heppened. So in other words herd reaction caused by slight inconvenience at getting the treats, just liberal thing.
