I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there…
The pathological downvoters ran from Reddit first. They missed fresh blood.
Sadly those were probably botnets. If you pick on a subject, and there’s certain keywords there…boom brigaded in 30 seconds.
Wow didn’t know about this… It’ be cool if Lemmy used a reaction-based rather than vote-based system…
