I’ve been using Lemmy for more than a year now and in the last month I noticed this tendency to dunk on people that complain and make memes about reddit.
Let me get this straight: I agree with the sacred commandment “thou shall not compare the two platforms”, because Lemmy is trying to be its own thing and the comparison keeps holding back this process.
But people that bring reddit up are usually new users that are angry with it and the just found a new platform where they can express this anger. They just need to vent for a second until their frustration is gone.
And you dunking on them is the same as if you were dunking on your friend who’s angry they got fired because that’s a topic you already heard.
Even when I try to not mention Reddit here and I don’t remember to vent here about it (I used to do this on Reddit because IDGAF about karma BS 😆) I agree with you.
