I’m surprised a bit because this place has a higher median age. At this point, that kind of stuff seems super childish to me, and I’m not trying to have this become the v2 of what was over there. There was SO much echo chamber junk going on there that’s it’s nice to open a topic here and have great diversity in opinion and thought. I’m looking forward to hearing less about Reddit on here, but understand it will take some time for people to either get over it or go back.
I want lemmy to have a hacker news mentality on posts and comments. Only post something if it will help continue a discussion. In the beginning that’s mostly what it was and it was great. Now it’s turning into Reddit V2. If that’s what people want then it’s fine, I just thought it’d be more like old Reddit where we only upvote content that added to a discussion.
Idunno. I’m mildly annoyed with the crossposting spam, but not surprised at the behavior. The internet has lent itself incredibly well to tribalism ever since its widespread adoption, so there’s always going to be some amount of “New platform is my god, old platform suck roach testicles.” I just hope it does die down instead of being a running undercurrent here like Spez married into the kardashians.

absolutely correct. unfortunately the higher median age does not translate to higher emotional qoutent.
Like a child holding unto a grudge that all the other people who are involved has already forgotten and moved on.
