    It’s really goddamn preachy. There’s a real sense of superiority a lot of users have that I don’t recall as much on Reddit.

    There’s also the fact that small communities are dead and it’s next to impossible to grow them, so you’re stuck with the same people on the front page every day.

      Going from like 30 million users and bots down to 50 thousand people will do that.

        Of course, but the niches I’m interested in have a few hundred thousand people worldwide and they’re not here.

        On Reddit I wasn’t particularly interested in the front page because it didn’t fit my interests, and Lemmy has gone in the same way. But the only interaction is on the front pages now, so that’s where I am.

      The FOSS and privacy preachiness really gets to me sometimes. I will admit it has gotten me to think about taking steps towards degoogling my life and things which admittedly is probably a pretty good idea but God sometimes it feels like if you aren’t using Linux and graphene OS and browsing everything from behind atleast 3 vpns you might as well not even breath because you don’t protect yourself correctly.
