I was on Reddit for about 15 years, pre-dating when Digg shit the bed, and to be honest there are some similarities between this place and old Reddit.
That’s not to say that we’ll see a flood of people from Reddit, but that this place has a nice, quaint charm that wasn’t too dissimilar to before. With that being said, the Linux bros are as unbearable as they used to be on Reddit, and there are some extremely wild opinions on politics that don’t align with reality - that’s not much of an improvement.
I started on Reddit in 2012, realized quickly that I was getting too invested in karma, so decided to never have an account for more than one calendar year.
That worked very well, but by the end I was still spending an inordinate amount of time dicking around. I spend maybe an hour a week on sync for Lemmy. perfect!
Same but with Boost for reddit. Now on Boost for Lemmy!
I remember being on Reddit back when it was pretty new. Also got a Gmail account back when it was beta and invite only. Everything seemed possible back then. My world view sure has changed since then. Not quite doomer pilled but damned if I’m not on the edge.
Same for me, but with Sync.
