  It did change. Lemmy used to be fine, but then about a year or two ago the users got worse. Way worse. My block list has grown exponentially in the last year or two, ballooning way larger than my block list on any other platform has ever been.

    At least it’s still better than Reddit. Less trolls, less bootlickers, less censorship. I dare you to name a better Reddit alternative than Lemmy.

      There are exactly the same amount (if not more) of trolls, “bootlickers,” and censorship on Lemmy as Reddit. You just might notice it less because you agree with it or aren’t in the most affected communities or instances (like the ml instances). A lot more bots here on Lemmy than I recall on Reddit (which was like, 5 years ago, which may be part of the reason admittedly). Entire instances that feel dedicated to troll accounts (like HexBear). Lemmy has zero protection from a troll setting up multiple instances to use to spam past bans or instance blocking AFAIK.

      There is no alternative. None of them are better. They’re all different flavors of the exact same thing because of the people that use them. They’re all equally bad, just different window dressing. That’s it.

      People have just become worse in the least year or two. Globally. Like a switch turned everyone from trying to be a decent person to just being the worst version of themselves towards everyone else. And this is magnified on the internet because of anonymity.

  Honestly, knowing the platform was rooted in tankie ideology, it was never going to be good. It just took many of us way too long to see it.

  At this point it’s how I kill time on the can. That’s tbh all it deserves.
