    You’re most certainly part of the problem. You’re like someone who complains about local restaurants closing, but keeps buying drive through. Reddit isn’t better, it’s merely easier, but it’s also a terrible value and bad for your health.

    There is nothing positive that Reddit is capable of, that Lemmy is not. It all comes down to shifting the audience. Lemmy keeps improving, while Reddit keeps getting worse. All Reddit has is inertia, the energy of which came from a distant, nearly forgotten push. Put some time and effort in, help build something rather than merely consume it.

      Here I am “supporting the local restaurant” but already am sitting at -20 points in an hour for stating my experiences.

      On reddit there are more posts I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and more opinions and people to talk with. There aren’t dozens or hundreds of people here discussing very niche hobbies, places, or events on an hourly or daily basis like there are on reddit. I buy the hamburger at the local restaurant when I can, but when I need a graphics card delivered next day, my mom-and-pop local computer store that sells to senior citizens has never even heard of a 5090.

        1. Stop giving a shit about fake internet points, they literally mean nothing.

        2. “Its dead in here” says person who never contributes anything except to complain how dead it is.

          1. I don’t care about fake Internet points. But a comment sitting at such a negative score so quickly shows the community does not welcome my content.
          2. That’s just incorrect.
