So are actual numbers of users down?

Every time I've gone back to Reddit, I've just seen the local communities I used to like getting incredibly right wing with the increasing number of wolf whistles in the comments. Or pro weed nonsense

And honestly, it just felt like doom scrolling and a waste of time. It has grown now to the point it's just basically the Facebook crowd.

Lemmy is sufficiently busy, and much better quality. And there is more to think about when reading comments

Doesn't matter, I'm still happy the platform is there and the users are contributing.

Wait, can someone please link stats? Now I want to know.

I was commenting irl, just last night, about how I continue to enjoy the thing that replaced the old site.

Reddit is for Porn. I got my year-thing and scrolled for 2 million bananas. I’m only subscribed to Porn and have been clicking on 1 or 2 things from MapPorn that got suggested to me while browsing through the ad-infested home feed. Have a guess on what they said was the post I liked more than the "The Gorilla Grip and Twist 5000“ I’ve spent months watching.

Yep. The font of knowledge is useless because half of it is speculation

I lurk Lemmy then go to Reddit for my local subs. I also unsubscribe from all the popular subs. Fuck $pez

I agree even more now. At least in Lemmy when admins are abusing their power, not only are the same options that were available in reddit here as well, but they can't hide their trace because of federated propagation of the evidence. Unfortunately, the one thing that does seem to be a thing is that no one really cares (outside of the thread) when you out them, but reddit was becoming that as well.

TIL revenue can be measured in ounces, neat-o
