I was super active in drama subs because I am a drama whore at heart. I knew how to just farm karma on them. Lukewarm take with just enough ability to be disageed with that the “bad” people will interact driving up the interactions.

karma makes reddit worse. Up/downvotes are great but overall account karma is fucking terrible.

Oh. Thank you for the concise rundown.

I also don’t love that is has least biased in the center. Bias is a trait that is on an almost entirely separate axis.

Can you give the rundown on what happened for us newer people.

Also mastodon instances not named mastodon.social are still relatively small.

It also means that lemmy will forever be less useful as an actual tool. You can not find nearly as many in-depth answers to topics by typing lemmy at the end of the search bar as reddit; and people will stay on reddit after they get the information they need because why go somewhere else. I understand that part of it is because reddit has been around for so long but I would think I could at least get linux questions answered here and I really can’t

Alexandrite is honestly great. Made the experience much better. Just wish I could have it open links in a separate tab.

And for some reason it seems like half of all distro specific communities are on .ml

It also keeps people that join active for longer if there is a wider variety of content which comes from there being more members.
