It's too tiring going back and forth with these types of Reddit users. I gave up and just chill here
My two cents: good! Let the shitty people stay on reddit. I'm loving the respectful communities here on lemmy, and don't really want those clowns coming over and messing it up for us.
As long as they do it on Reddit I really donβt care anymore. Probably with the IPO Reddit will run all sorts of "opinion forming" bots and ban dissidents and so on to make sure they seem like they got the community behind them.
I just hope they leave us alone here and mostly anti-spez people come to form new communities here.
I went to have a look back in United Kingdom sub and seemed even more right wing and.thw think-tank bots paid posts than normal.
It was a matter of time. They'll give us a stupid name to refer to us from now on soon enough too.
It wouldn't surprise me, a lot of people don't care or just aren't interested in change.
Neoliberals and saying "there is no alternative", name a more iconic duo
Spam-bots and strange links.
Let them stay there then. We can't force people to join us here. If they choose to believe those kind of brigading comments then they do not have the level of critical thinking to become a meaningful contributor to any site. Those who wanted to move have already moved. Those remaining there are those who chose to ignore the issue, or support reddit.
Yeah it's good that this type of comments are being left there and not here.
Also I don't think is a good idea that an user that's looking for reddit 2 comes to lemmy or kbin just to shit on it cause is not reddit 2.
I just deleted all my posts, comments and my account on Reddit. No need to get frustrated over people who wants to be a part of that shit show. Also you can't be sure that they are real people and not paid trolls to discourage people. At this point anything is possible with Reddit.
I haven't noticed.
However, something I have noticed about people is that they justify their behaviour.
So if they buy a Toyota and Dad has a Nissan, he'll ask them why they didn't buy a Nissan... If they buy a Nissan and Dad has a Toyota, they'll similarly be able to fight for their corner.
What people don't do is to buy a Nissan and say 'sure, I bought the dogshit car because I'm stupid'.
Something that's true is that Reddit aggregated a lot of behaviour on internet, and so it's obviously true that Lemmy cannot compete with that - not even close. For many use-cases, there are no viable alternatives.
The best thing that will come of this is that people become aware that they have alternatives to Youtube/Google, Reddit, Facebook, Chrome etc.
People need to work to build an independent internet and not allow this shit to happen.
They need to stop signing TOS agreements that they can't even read through or comprehend.
