Reddit is a shithole

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

On lemmy you're just arguing with the same piss enjoyers without a piss home due to lack of active communities. Lemmy is just ex Redditors acting like they are better than Redditors.

Redditors are cool. It's the admin that can eat shit. I'd still be on that site if they weren't greedy fucks.

I can't imagine thinking redditors are cool. Not even redditors think redditors are cool.

Haha, cool as in I have no beef with them. If you thought I meant "hip" I'll just say I can't judge since I've been out of that game for a while, as evidenced by my use of "hip" in a sentence.

can confirm, had 100k comment karma before I left, definitely not cool

Not "redditors" but the niche communities. But that's a numbers and patience game and I've got time.

What's a z+redditor? I also don't fully know what counts as niche. I think I am in a couple of these and there are still assholes, some of which are the most active users or even mods. Some groups are okay but these are the exceptions and not the rules.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say they’re cool. For the most part they’re tolerable.

Go back then?

I'm not going to support a scummy corporate company because Lemmy's users can sometimes be elitist.

But it's just the same people right? Except they're worse because they're falsely self important.

(My experience on lemmy is 97% positive, I don't agree with you at all)

On lemmy search for a board and the same community is on every instance. A little bit of r/piss for everyone.

hell i'm here specifically because i liked reddit but, y'know, didn't like the actual reddit platform itself because it's run by absolute wankers.

less cookers as a proportion, but far more tankies
