I’m whelmed.

I too wish some of the smaller subreddits I was in moved here, but not everyone wants to do that 🫤Think it’s just gonna take time to build up those small communities unfortunately

Haha, yep

Always knew Wales was essentially living in a different dimension… 🤔 (lol, thanks for the tidbit!)

Yes, and I like it this way too. It definitely gives people who came into the thread late a voice.

Hey welcome! Hope you have some solace here with the rest of us internet refugees :)

…as for me, I’m kinda getting a kick out of all this chaos

I know it sounded stupid in hindsight, but hey at least it got the ball rolling on asking the question if reddit was really worth going back to after all this blew over (of course, we know the answer to that already)

Nice, makes me wanna bring this up in a future convo for people to wtf at lmao

Think a large part of it is context driven and what kind of community it is. I know in more serious threads, more helpful information was usually upvoted. But I get you, Reddit (the default subreddits especially) got too big for its own good and became the muddied groupthink mess it is today, and I definitely agree that those kinds of comments add nothing to a discussion. I suppose one kind of solution here would be to implement the boosting system like they have at kbin and have that as some “helpful/insightful” button, but I don’t think people in general would agree to one standard just like that. They’re more likely going to keep doing what they’re used to, and that’s the voting system. Not sure how to really tackle the problem myself 😅

I know what you’re saying, but I feel like it does both tbh

Nice, we’re already getting OC

Ah yes, the prison yard aesthetic… lookin’ good

You know what’s funny? I think I voted more on comments here than my several years of reddit already. Having votes kept to individual comments instead of tallied up in your profile like this just feels better to me.

Oh sorry bout that, my pet chicken showed lemmy to his friends at the farm

Well this is a good sign! We may be becoming legit competition guys

Finally. Wish his influence would crumble to dust too.
