Oh god I can hear it in my head

I’m whelmed.

Yeah, was wondering what was going on. Hope it gets fixed soon!

I too wish some of the smaller subreddits I was in moved here, but not everyone wants to do that 🫤Think it’s just gonna take time to build up those small communities unfortunately

Haha, yep

Always knew Wales was essentially living in a different dimension... 🤔 (lol, thanks for the tidbit!)

Hey welcome! Hope you have some solace here with the rest of us internet refugees :)

I know it sounded stupid in hindsight, but hey at least it got the ball rolling on asking the question if reddit was really worth going back to after all this blew over (of course, we know the answer to that already)

Think a large part of it is context driven and what kind of community it is. I know in more serious threads, more helpful information was usually upvoted. But I get you, Reddit (the default subreddits especially) got too big for its own good and became the muddied groupthink mess it is today, and I definitely agree that those kinds of comments add nothing to a discussion. I suppose one kind of solution here would be to implement the boosting system like they have at kbin and have that as some "helpful/insightful" button, but I don't think people in general would agree to one standard just like that. They're more likely going to keep doing what they're used to, and that's the voting system. Not sure how to really tackle the problem myself 😅

Oh sorry bout that, my pet chicken showed lemmy to his friends at the farm

Finally. Wish his influence would crumble to dust too.

Agree with this sentiment. The night's young here, so I think a little consolidation would do more to help us at this point in time
