Redditors brigading against Lemmy
Redditors brigading against Lemmy
I don't know if you've noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it's "dogshit" and "not going anywhere" get systematically upvoted.
Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like "yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
It's frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that "Lemmy is not ready yet" and that there's "no viable alternative to Reddit".
This and the overwhelming number of comments being "against the mod protests" just prompts me to question whether there isn't some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.
You're viewing a single thread.
redditors always find another way to disappoint. whether it's going back to use the site after 2 days of "protest", or the moderators giving in to reddit admin pressure instead of resigning.
I'm convinced the general reddit population really are just a bunch of adult babies that have become just docile consumers and sycophants. The fact that people complain about how difficult it is to sign up on lemmy/other fediverse instances shows the level of competency these people work at. If you can't put a modicum of effort into the community you're trying to be a part of, it's probably better you're not here anyways. We don't need 200 million people on lemmy for it to be a fun and interesting place to engage with content on. I'd rather have a smaller (than reddit) userbase, with better content and discussion, than the vast wave of karma farmers posted the lowest effort puns to every single article on world news.
Love Northlane btw.
exactly! I've found lemmy users to be a pretty interesting bunch. very self sufficient and willing to learn the ins and outs of how this community works (at least in my short experience)
yesss +1 for Northlane!!!
