Apart from being hit with what seemed like random ban hammers, that was one of the reasons I left Reddit.

It just seems so “the same”. Every comment chain is filled with the same predictable comments and they’re all predictably commenting on the same predictable content.

I hear lots of Lemmy newbies saying they stay on Reddit because of the user base in their niche communities. I hope those same people post or comment here a little bit in their niche instances before buggering off back to the black hole of bots.

I love that I can spot individual users again without tagging them.

I love the guy who uses that ye olde symbol instead of typing the letters “th”

This place is awesome because of the limited user base IMO. Very rarely have I been met with negativity here.
