[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 67 points 2 months ago (15 children) I think most who would leave have already left. permalink fedilink source hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 56 points 2 months ago* (4 children) I can get out of lemmy what I got out of reddit a long time ago. It only takes a few hundred smart/funny people to make a chat board good. We're here now. Hopefully some of the niche communities get ported over soon enough, but the real greatness of reddit was that it was mostly uncensored and intelligent opinion. That's mostly dead. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] auzy1@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (3 children) Only in some communities it was.. And, the lack of censorship wasn't a good thing. It allowed absolute shtshow's like thedonald or fatpeoplehate to exist way too long. There were also numerous pedo subreddits too which were allowed to exist apparently.

It grabbed a very specific demographic which is much less likely to be active on Facebook - young men stepping out from their edgy teenager "it's not a stage mom" stage, and into the throes of early adulthood. So now you have this very strange thing where "youth counterculture" is sometimes (often enough to be a problem) this unholy marriage between fascist nihilism and Christian nationalism. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OpenStars@discuss.online 16 points 2 months ago (9 children) And some of them upon arriving here, noped out (either immediately or waiting a few years first) and went back:-(.
