  I still browse reddit.

  The other dt still talk about us like we’re the poorer cousins who lost their way and hope to make it back some day because apparently it’s slow over here. 😂

    Oh, ok. I don’t have any kind of beef with anyone who stayed. I wasn’t aware there was any competition or tension.

    I just saw the owner openly say that he wanted to emulate Musk then engage in strongarm tactics, and went ‘yikes’ over where that behaviour might lead. What the site might turn into. Also the whole selling user data to AI thing is not something I agree with. Would potentially consider frequenting both places casually if the owner stopped being a raging jackarse or sold the site. If it was like it used to be.

    The mix of people in the DT seems to have changed though. I don’t recognise many usernames anymore so if I did ever return that would be another adjustment.

        No. Don’t even think it. We’d all end up all eating weetbix with honey and bananas. A fate worse than death.

      I check in once in a while and the only people I generally recognise are MajorBear and HurstbridgeLineFTW. I feel like a remember Bear being over here during rexxit for a while, but HLFTW was anti Lemmy I think

        I kinda miss epicpillowcase’s devotion to intellectual and social honesty. If the emperor has no clothes, we could depend on them to prevent that emperor from booking a seat on an airline for the foreseeable future.

    Given we routinely outcomment them, that seems a pretty weird opinion.

      Eh, they definitely have a wider range of commenters and much more activity in the main sub. There’s no doubt that Reddit still has a lot more momentum and it’s mostly the same people here in the DT. I don’t mind that of course, but I don’t think their opinion is that weird…

        Fair enough.
