Good point when a smart person says something undeniably dumb, you have to remember there is intent behind the statement. What that intent is usually presents itself much later.

It’s happening. I mentioned in another thread that there’s a good severance community that helps me feel like I don’t need Reddit for a show for the first time.

Well, those things you love about Reddit have only been getting better on Lemmy as time goes on.

I think major Reddit news is absolutely relevant to the Lemmy community. If nothing else, it is a good reminder of what we want from our communities and why we are here and not there. In addition, it may lead to a surge in active users.

The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content.

I love how they refer to their corporate profit method as the “Reddit Ecosystem”

They make it sound like this is the universally owned and managed ecosystem that we all are responsible for maintaining and we all equally benefit from. The corporate overlords decide what they want the ecosystems to be, the rules, the content, the algorithm… All to benefit their stock prices and bonuses.

But all of a sudden it’s the community’s responsibility for maintaining THEIR rules for THEIR profit? How about fuck you Reddit.

I know this doesn’t affect me as I am plenty happy being on Lemmy, but the audacity still pisses me off.
