I made a similar comment to another thread, but I’ve been having login issues and I don’t think it posted.
I’m not sure if it’s being able to compare apples to Oranges with Lemmy, and I was very aware that the quality of reddit was lower than when I joined in like 2010. But Holy Cow is it ever bad at Reddit.
RIF is still working for me, I’m logged out and never vote or comment on Reddit anymore. But I still pop in to view local news and subreddits that don’t have the same traction here yet.
The current Reddit experience is terrible. All the comments feel like opinion wedge bots stating divisive opinions that aren’t engaging with anyone.
All the top/best sorted comments are a few minutes old and largely irrelevant. Seems like reddit is pushing bot/chat GPT content to replace migration users.
I’d rather be on a buggy platform, talking to real people, who disagree or not, are engaging in real discussion.
Going to reddit when I’ve crushed through most hot topics on Lemmy really drives home what makes a social platform good, and what makes a social platform bad.
Hopefully Reddit doesn’t fully migrate here and it can serve it’s new purpose of being a social cesspool trap for special interest bots.
Getting the same news from Lemmy has provided a comparison that allowed me to see exactly how toxic Reddit currently is.
