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

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 😅

I know what you’re saying, but I feel like it does both tbh

Nice, we’re already getting OC

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

Fantastic news for Android users! Exciting to see what other third party apps will pop up

It’s all good, as long as we have actual people here (I was pretty much a hard lurker on reddit as well lol)

Finally. Wish his influence would crumble to dust too.

Yeah, and we’re just getting started :)
