So, I got site-wide banned from reddit a while ago due to using the word “purge” on a post and since then I have been using Lemmy more and more. However, one thing that I have noticed is that Lemmy is less active than reddit.
For example, the most comments I have seen a post get is 200, where in reddit I’m confident it would get much more.
Well…duh! Reddit had a massive head start plus they’ve sold their soul to the money guys to ensure that they remain a staple part of the normie diet.
Furthermore, Reddit is a home for propaganda that gets artificially inflated by bots and state actors, thus leading to insane upvote counts.
Here, we have a refined palate. We don’t have 1000 posts of slop, we have 100 posts of open source trans autism. Once you train your taste buds to be accustomed to nutritious content again, you won’t be able to stomach the slop anymore.
It’s an adjustment, but it’s worth it, and in the end, I feel like this place has been better for my mental health.
Welcome to Lemmy. We greet you with open arms.

also: very true, i’m ashamed at the amount of slop i used to ingest.
