What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy? - Lemmy.ca

It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

  • Lemmy is by and large populated with ex-Redditors, who bring with them some of the same hivemind on certain topics. Eg: Lemmy is very anti-AI or nuanced discussions thereon. Nuclear is bad, etc. Makes bad faith discussions on certain topics almost certain.
  • As everywhere else - there’s too much “you’re either on my team or your against me” - though notably less than in other spaces
  • Upvote / downvote counts: these should be yeeted into the garbage pile of history.

    • Things Lemmy does well

  • Less performative engagement.
  • Less American
  • Despite it all, a measure of civility still exists.
  • You can create your own instance and be ungovernable :)
  • No algorithmic engagement bullshit (so far)

    • I personally find Lemmy a great deal more pleasant to interact on, with strong pre 2010 forum vibes and I feel that’s a good thing. YMMV

    I have seen no people rail against nuclear on here or reddit.

    Not very Auth of you! You sound like a hedonistic libertarian to me.
