I've been learning to control the outrage, and figuring out ways to turn things around. It's like my time with conspiracy theories helped me to discern bullshit, fact check, be objective, etc.

I see all over the internet a certain tribalism towards each person's social media of choice. Even when people admit that there are problems, they still want to convince themselves it's better than all the others and that everywhere else is pure drivel.

I am rooting for Lemmy but I'm only going to call it "better" when searching with "site:lemmy.*" returns me better results than "site:reddit.com". For now the culture is a bit better but the content is still pretty scarce, not to mention that there is nothing making this place any less susceptible to misinformation.

of course

I felt it was enough to hint that.-lol Criticism of alternatives being too much like Reddit hasn't been well received.
