    I’m pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what’s going everywhere on the internet all at once?

      This.

      Lemmy isn’t at mass growth yet. So right now - it’s nice to NOT see every stupid story about some no-name political guy say something stupid. Or NOT hear about some rage bait game pissing people off. Or NOT know about a shitty conglomerate is continuing being shitty.

        To be honest the feeling isn’t like reddit of old, a lot of the people who have come here are the type finding pride in being on the outside and there’s a lot of arrogance and pride with people on here for being the ones to move here.

        I think they feel superior because they’re over here and not reddit but reddit used to have brilliant long form discussions I’m just not seeing here. Granted reddit itself has way worse content now is definitely worse than lemmy, but we haven’t captured what we lost.

        Wait, you’re not seeing those posts? Because you just described like a third of all Lemmy posts that come across my screen.
