..what are some of the things i can expect from this place?
I have become very tiresome with how those mods seems to be on some sort of power trip.
You're viewing a single thread.
Lemmy is pretty great compared to reddit in that you'll get a lot more moderate, reasonable, and nuanced takes. I notice that there's a lot of times when I'm clearly joking and people either explain my joke back to me or, you know, not realize and try to bicker. Slight irony deficiency you might say, but even those are still good people. Just a little severe.
Other than that, it's pretty great once you've blocked enough of the accounts with more intense agendas. They're not hard to spot, and I like to leave a few unblocked just for kicks.
Lots of Linux and LGBTQ+ folks in the fediverse, so if that's not your bag you might find the content slightly sparse. The solution there is just to post more. I like the mix of things around here for the most part, and browsing All is pretty good once you've blocked anything you can't stand.
I have been on and off Reddit for several years now, and i feel it's getting worse. I know everyone has there own opinion, and sometimes it's nice to see things from someone else's point of view, but more and more often, some people seem to go out of their way just to stamp on your parade!
I'm one of the API casualties who was shocked at how many people stayed. I haven't been back to reddit very much since then, and I regret it each time.
I too left reddit with the API mess and have not gone back. No regrets. Welcome to Lemmy and the wider fediverse. I think you’ll like it here.
