What's really baffling to me is that a bunch of nerds with too much free time on their hands basically stomped out a fully fledged Reddit alternative within a few months, including multiple frontends and apps.

Oh so you've noticed that too? Yeah I thought Lemmy was going to be the difference maker too, the leader of alternative and the breakaway from Reddit. But I've got a bit of a conspiracy theory, I truly think a lot of shitty Reddit users got together and jumped on Lemmy to take a massive dump on it just to ruin it for everyone.

I mean you could tell in moments. The downvote brigading. The report spamming. The snarky responses. Meme-esque posts everywhere. Yeah this was not Lemmy behavior, this was Reddit behavior and it got out of control.

What did the Lemmy mods/admins do about it? Almost nothing.

So now we're in a place of the Fediverse where Lemmy has been fucked up, KBin.social is dead (or in a comatose state since it's still somehow up) and what we have left now are scattering the users.
