    I could probably find something similar on Lemmy. The fixation on Reddit is annoying when people could just use Lemmy and forget about Reddit.

    Reddit is the new facebook imho, even people who I somewhat agree with frame their comments in such a way that I wanna punch them in the face, and a source for whatever they say? Lol trust me bro! I have seen that here even if someone says something that I don’t agree with, they at-least provide something that shows how they arrived at some point/conclusion, which opens a door for healthy discussions, I don’t think we as a community are much better, there are different flaws, but the environment is certainly different and better

      Seven or eight years ago I thought linking to sources was a rule/ettiquite, I learned it from how a lot of comments were back then and how I still format a good chunk of my answers.

    Reddit is bloodthirsty and quite often rejects reason, especially if you’re in subs like justiceporn or similar. People DGAF if the solution to a problem was “just walk away” that was available for the entirety of the lead-up to an incident, they just want to see massive retaliation for a slight, perceived or real. FAFO. can’t fix stupid. Etc.

    Bunch of angry drunks looking for a fight for any reason.

    That, and Reddit is all about reactions and retreads in all the popular subs, just like TikTok and the like.

    The conversations happen in the small subs. Sometimes.

    I remember the last post I saw on reddit before I switched to lemmy full time. It was the day after they removed 3rd party app support. I clicked on a video where 2 people were fighting, normally when something like that was posted I’d be able to go into the comments and find a source of some kind, be it a news article, someone who had seen it before knowing the context, or even a link to the original post. But as I kept scrolling I saw none of that. Just post after post of low effort shit like “got em” or, even worse, racist whistles (one of the people involved where black). I looked at every single comment, I could not believe that there was no source. Once I reached the end I un-installed RiF (it still worked the next day just not while logged in) and never looked back.

    Also, the degree of banning now is at another level. My friend got banned site wide for three days because she used the word moron to describe a mail carried that fucked up real bad. I guess she doesn’t spend much time on reddit so she wasn’t aware what a shithole that place became

      Thats been a thing since a shirt while before the api meltdown. I went through like 5 accounts getting banned for things like telling a TERF to fuck off or saying I hope someone assassinated Putin.

      And their “appeal” system just automatically denies you.

        And yet other violent content stays up and unbanned in the far-right subreddits, weird.

      Yeah, I stopped making new accounts there, cause they survive only for a couple of weeks or so until admins decide that morons are a protected group, or that answering calls to genocide with appropriate wishes is calling to violence (the other side usually doesn’t get banned), etc.

      I like it here - at least bans for being rude are mostly egalitarian not depending on political positions (if you don’t try to teach tankies economics and history on their own instances, which is stupid in at least two dimensions).

        It’s really hard to stay back when they’re praising North Korea, you always feel like Don Quixote does when he spots a windmill.
