r/politics problem isn’t that it’s infested with maga nonsense….idk what you’re even talking about.

R/politics problem is that it’s a doomer cesspool that doesn’t actually like talking about politics, but likes to complain and talk about Trump all the time.

I’m a borderline socialist, so pretty left leaning, and that subreddit is way too toxic for me. I’m not interested in that type of discourse.

It’s 100% going to be.

Lemmy isn’t “special”. I’ve already seen hot takes and other things to get people riled up on Lemmy.

I disagree. What made Reddit for me is that there were so many people on it, than any niche hobby had it’s own space.

Sure the main big subreddits were shit shows, but the hobby subreddits were great! Something that still isn’t a thing for Lemmy. Specialization.

I still find myself checking Reddit out for subreddits on specific niche games for example.

Like there is literally a subreddit for almost anything. Robot vacuums. Sins of a Solar Empire. Crusader kings. Fish tanks. MotoGP.

Things that probably will take a while to get running on Lemmy.

Right now Lemmy is too “general” for me to really have a feed of things I actually care about.

No, I don’t care at all. If I want to speak to Romanians, I go on r/Romania, r/RoCasual, etc. etc.

We are only 20 million people. Americans are 330 million, and its an English speaking site. I don’t expect to see Romanians catered to in any way what so ever in the generic subs.

You guys are nuts if you let it bother you.

Literally makes no sense.

Can we please stop with the misinformation campaign.

Everyone on here is trying to pat each other on the back by being better than Reddit.

So far no one on here acts differently from Reddit, no matter how much you guys like to pretend lol.

“Shadow accounts” lol. It’s literally your instagram account. Threads is built on top of Instagram. None of this is some hidden secret.

As Reddit has proven, this is not how the masses use downvotes. I have seen unpopular, but harmless opinions be downvoted.

I have seen people getting downvoted heavily by saying they don’t like x game. That creates echo chambers.

What nuanced discourse? That already isn’t happening on many topics lol.

Saw a guy earlier call all Twitter users idiots, cause they are on Twitter. What nuance is that?

Already seen racists, nazis on Lemmy, and enough tankies to arm an entire country lol.

Unfortunately they will just congregate everywhere. Best we can do is defederate.

This is an extremely weird ass take to have. Why would the average user give a shit?

Compared to most problems people have, the intricacies of social media platforms is not high on a lot of people’s list. They just go where the content is.

What a very insufferable opinion to have lol.

Like god damn, I knew that the early adopters will have the hardcore with em, but some of you guys need to relax.

Na, there is a nice middle ground. I would rather have flat over the Skeumorphism if I had to pick between the two though. I thought it was hideous then, and I think it still is now lol.
