Yeah, reddit definitely wouldn’t allow me to sprinkle politics everywhere I go like lemmy does. I think that’s partially a result of low engagement and trying to build viewer base, though. Once the satellite communities can kind of survive on their own they will start purging that shit.
I have adhd so I just post trying to get engagement. I like to have 100 different distractions that I can engage with if I get bored.
I can’t say I agree with the last point. Making a comment on Reddit is a dice-roll of which logical fallacy someone will attack you with. You could say “I like waffles!” and you’d instantly get a reply saying “Oh, so you think pancakes are shit then???”
It makes it genuinely difficult to have a even a mild conversation there.
Once I came here, It took me a few months to “detoxify” after using reddit for years. Reddit was bad, but got that way slowly enough that I didn’t realize it until I came to Lemmy. It was like the internet version of PTSD. I’m not as hyper-defensive as I used to be.
Much more politics, much more to the left, most people seem to actively look for reasons to get offended.

I’m offended by that.
Jk. I agree. People here seem to want to misread in the weirdest ways just so they can sound off.
