I was on reddit every day for damn near 20 years, and if I'm being 100% honest, the fediverse is 10,000% better. The only problem is that not enough people interact. I've never seen a post with more than like 200 comments. It feels a bit empty here. But, on the other hand, 200 decent comments is better than 2000 shitty ones.
Once this place gets a few more users, it's gonna be the GOAT.
I prefer the fewer comments here. Who want's to read 1200+ comments, 50% of which are the same tired jokes?
Nice.
And my axe!
Its better this way. Limited content. You have to out the phone down and do something else
I'm new, came over a couple weeks ago. Others will come.
Careful what you wish for, the larger the sample size the dumber it gets
Yep. Happened with bluesky. It was pretty decent and wasn't getting any troll crap that was rampant on Twitter. Then there was some controversy on Twitter and Blue sky quickly went up in its new members and...yep, it just got all trolly and agro 🙄
Personally I just miss when we had individual sites for a topic like when I was a teenager. Grew up on forums for a certain artist and another different site for specific sports teams, books. Way less likely to get idiots if you actually have to actively find the specific website for an artist you hate.
This... People keep dreaming of reddit crashing and burning or going under but, realistically if that did happen a good portion of the existing userbase will filter into the fediverse somewhere, and thats a lot of inorganic growth. Currently there are a handful of popular topics, and some niche topics. Yes there are also reddit like mannerisms but, when people slowly filter in, the room can be read and the existing culture remains, when a mass intake happens (like what happend with the API debacle) the influx is faster than the adoption and the culture comes with it.
ikr soon as this place gets too big I'm taking off to something else.
Fedi being way slower than Reddit was a godsend to me. It helped me detox from the endless content on Reddit because I was going loopy.
After the 5th scroll past the same boring hornypost I'm like "ugh I guess I'll put the phone down and go to sleep."
I think it's fine as is. The worst part of reddit was opening an interesting post and finding the comments full of jokes and badly remembered quotes.
Edit: That was probably due to the awards creating perverse incentives but still, the more comments there are the more striking a comment needs to be to be on top
It had a lot more with being first to comment than it did about the quality of your comment. After about 100 comments your chances of being near the top were pretty much gone.
I absolutely fell in love with reddit when I joined 19 years ago. Up until the Digg migration I loved it maybe even more than the BBS' I was on in my youth. But it steadily went downhill from there, and I thank Jebus every day for the fediverse because it brings back that good old energy that I was missing. Reddit is so unpleasant compared to here.
I agree with you. Coming up on at least my second year here and I do love it, but I miss some parts of having the bigger crowd.
