    I think I saw that once, the whole time I was there.

    I didn’t realize how much the quality of discourse shit the bed over the 10 years I was on there. Not until I got here and suddenly it was like “oh yeah, I forgot how nice conversations can be”.

    I’d like spez and the board to get a comeuppance, but I’m not sure I want Reddit to mass migrate here…

      Same. Sadly, however, the more popular a thing becomes, the more the general population (read: idiots and trash) shows up to enshitify things.

      Strongly agreed! That’s been my sentiment exactly. That’s why I’m not at all bothered when people compare the numbers and show how many orders of magnitude more people are on Reddit. That’s just fine with me.

      Lemmy scratches the same itch, it isn’t the same 5 posts circulating for three days anymore, and we seem to have reached a critical mass where it feels just like it should, but without the shitty bits.
