Comment on Y'all I'm seriously tempted to go back to Reddit.

You don’t have to commit to anything. I use both. The writing communities on here don’t really work for me that well and the general population of reddit (and their god-awful app) don’t work for me well there. I just kinda bounce around to wherever I’m most interested when I feel like it.
Personally, I think it’s good to have a variety of sources if you’re gonna do the social media thing anyway. Each of them have their own subculture that sucks in the extremes, but for a visit now and again they’re not terrible.

You’re right. I know I’m being hypocritical, joining a platform for ideological reasons, then complaining when everyone else talks about ideology. People who join the fediverse are self-selecting.
But I actually joined Lemmy before I quit Reddit. I made an account on here during the Reddit APIcolypse of 2023, but only deleted my Reddit account that fall after realizing I was addicted to it. In some ways I was expecting a slower drip of content here on Lemmy compared to Reddit, but didn’t expect the quality to be so dubious. I’ve been telling myself I should probably make another Reddit account. I’ve been having issues at work that could probably be solved with a quick post on a relevant subreddit, but I’ve stubbornly refused to go crawling back to the social media I swore I’d rid myself of.
