With Reddit just announcing ai mods for sub reddits I think it’s finally time I fully give it up. I’ve been slowly trying to transition back into the fediverse but damn is it hard sometimes. Listen I have left leaning politics but does every other post have to be about some political shit on the all tab, I feel like I’m forced into this box that is my subscribed feed or I have to actively search out new communities because all is just a political circle jerk that I don’t care about. Not to mention the moment I came back I saw a fucking flow chart on the instances drama of the week. If I wasn’t so dedicated to dropping Reddit I think the average Joe would have left by now seeing all of this. And YES I have been trying to be the change I want to see if you check my profile I regularly post in meme subs non political just funny memes to be like “lmao” and people can move about their day. I’m not saying there ISNT other type of content on lemmy or piefed it just feels like the stuff that floats to the top is political

It’s the part I use because I’m looking for a Reddit style alternative and I’ve tried mastodon in the past and had the same problem the only reason I didn’t stay was because I’m not really into micro blogging to begin with

We call this part the Threadiverse - bc of threaded conversional style, not user-centric like the microblog style but instead topic-based.

The (some say unfortunate?) term predates the mostly dead and predatory Threads offering by Meta, and people are adamant about not changing it so... there it is. Also, don't worry, threads.net is literally the only instance that is mass-banned by EVERY SINGLE ONE of the servers across the entire Threadiverse. And aside from that, it's actually a good name, which we decided to not let them take from us!!
