    I think reddit was a slow change. Like the old boiling a frog saying. I didn’t realize how bad it got until I got here and remembered what reddit was 10+ years ago when i started. Talking to humans that aren’t a giant echo chamber. Not questioning the motives of every post or feeling manipulated. Not just a thousand tiktoc reposts or tweets. The comments that show different sides of a discussion instead of knowing exactly what the top comment is on most threads before opening the comment section.

    Reddit slowly became predictable and routine. I didn’t hate it while I was there, some things I did, but mostly I fell into the echo chamber without realizing it.

      The Reddit hive mind has been a joke for ages, but I agree. Eventually it just got stale and upsetting.

      Lemmy.world might be where I land, not sure yet. You need a certain number of users to make it work and this site has gotten popular enough that maybe it can work. But I don’t think I will be sticking with Reddit much more

        That’s basically where I’m at. Lemmy is very interesting, and I enjoy that it’s not being held hostage by the whims of corporate dipshits who only care about profit, but I’ll go wherever the interesting content is. I just hope that place isn’t back to reddit or twitter.
