Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.
Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it's clearly not everywhere.
Am I the only one who's feeling like we've just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?
You're viewing a single thread.
It's most likely just a phase, though it doesn't help I made something for it.
I don't quite get what you made that community for?
Linking to bad content, that was downvoted, and then participating in a celebratory culture of them seems like an inherently toxic and negative thing? I don't see how it'd help the issue.
though it doesn’t help I made something for it.
Are you saying you made it to help the issue, or irrelevant to it not helping?
I'm saying I made something that's more becoming of something that's not a phase, and the way you describe it isn't accurate at all. It's not celebratory in the least, it exist to examine the why's, and your perception having been cast, I will demonstrate for you and all your upvoters who probably have either never been on Reddit or want to taunt for the sake of it.
You actually posted a screenshot of these comments? The -2 on your original comment counts as "downvoted into oblivion" as per the communities rules?
The community description says nothing about celebratory vs exploring as you claim it to be clearly one over the other here. And your example does not help that distinction either. It makes it more confusing / less indicative of your supposed intention - because rather than facilitating an open discussion and exploration you use a passive aggressive tone, and use this comment chain that was critical and started a discussion. You seem to be doing the opposite - specifically what I talked about - a toxic elevation.
It’s because of what it’s based on. It should be noted OP asked a question based on a real issue, and I answered optimistically only to be have it deceptively demoralized, especially considering the whole point of Lemmy is to be another, hopefully better Reddit, and for that to be rewarded more than the optimism, all the while the post grading system many promised wouldn’t exist. Hence I said (not passive agressively) that I would use this as an opportunity to demonstrate what the average Redditor would already know, since it did leave the door open to interpret everyone as taunting me “for the safe of [demonstrating the community]”.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I wish I knew this aspect of the functionality sooner.
