I feel like lemmy is actually really amazing and has a lot of smart discussion happening instead of the constant circlejerking that happens on Reddit. I also feel the community here is a lot more hopeful/helpful! That’s all, thanks for reading 😄

    I’ve been using reddit for over 12 years. That site is a steaming pile of shit compared to what it once was. I’m done.

      I’ve been on there about 14. It’s gradually gotten worse and worse in terms of culture and content, but what really shows their doom is how awful the ‘new reddit’ interface is. It has now been years and they haven’t fixed it, show no signs of plans to rethink it, or any understanding of how bad it is. I’ve entirely removed reddit from my life and had zero problems doing it. Now when I go read comments on there, it’s clear how wretched it is… so many people are so nasty to each other in city subs, for instance.

        And we all have to expect that at some point the old interface is going to get removed. Before this whole blowup, I was already expecting it.

          Oh, absolutely. I’m sort of surprised it’s even still there. They’ve updated it a tiny bit here and there but it seems clear they’ll remove it or it will just stop working at some point. When I’ve tried using the new interface it’s been torturous. So… if they hadn’t screwed over 3rd party apps, if they removed old reddit, I’d find an app I liked, but… can’t do that now, of course! So I’m glad to have already jumped ship before being forced to.
