Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

I'm struggling to find niche communities but overall the comments are more human and not just saying what everyone wants to hear for Internet points. I still plan on hosting my own instance soon and I'm excited for that. I do find it annoying as well when I sort by new and it's just thousands of repost from reddit.

I dunno, there always seems to be a dog pile of people ready to be outraged. The LTT stuff, especially the un-verified, tweets from the disgruntled ex employee.

People are ready to string up Linus and torch his community even though the response video today is all you could ask for. Then she piles on and somehow her word is not inpugnable.

Any voice of reason is down voted and dumb hot takes and up voted.it feels worse than reddit tbh.

Yeah been noticing it can be pretty hit or miss, the vibe is pretty chill here but people still come out of the woodwork to dog-pile on people. The unverified allegations with LLT / Madison are a perfect example of that

Are you planning on some specific communities or "just" a server for anyone to join and use?

[–] secret301@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Just a server for my friends and I to use
