I'm so disappointed in how Lemmy has turned out (lemmy.world)

I came here in November of last year looking for an alternative to reddit, and in that time, this space has transformed to look more like reddit than I ever expected it to become.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't just reddit all over again with a smaller userbase.

I never quite understand why people have these high expectations from lemmy. It's just another social media site, why should people here be any different?

For now the silver lining is that lemmy is still at a size where you can salvage it blocking a couple hundred people and communities.

Reddit was distinct from social media. It was a forum, not a hellsite. Lemmy was supposed to be another go at that, mostly on a technical level, partially on a cultural level, with decentralization fixing a lot of late reddit's problems.

What time frame are you referring to?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

2008-2015, at least. Even now - it's distinct from what I'd call social media.

Is Fark social media?

Despite the admins best effort.

Is Fark social media?

I wouldn't think so, but reddit feels closer. But not the strictict definition. Similar to the YouTube debate tbh.
