It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

    When 90% of the comments are sarcastic or jokes like Reddit I can’t call that discussion or engaging. It’s noise just like all of the reposts and duplicate content.

    I’ve been on kbin (the fediverse) for over a week and I feel the opposite of your sentiment. The content was lacking but discussion is A+. Content is definitely picking up steam now, but I don’t want the fediverse to be a reddit clone.

      Reddit has really become overrun with the garbage comments in recent years.

      It’s like all of the sudden everyone decided they were a comedian and reddit threads were the place to test their new material.

      It really has been a huge piece of what’s been killing the appeal for me recently.

        I really hope the fediverse isn’t going to be completely overrun with “this”, “this is the way”, “fuck around and find out”. FFS, people, try to have an original thought.
