Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

It's their way of saying "low quality", usually thrown at things they deem forced by a marketing team. Always gave me some anti-semitic vibes when I used to see it used in context but I'm not sure why off the top of my head.

    I don't believe there is any 4chan connection - instead slop is used in the sense of

    sometimes in the plural) Scraps used as food for animals, especially pigs or hogs.

    Synonyms: hogwash, swill

    This might be why. I hate that I’ve seen this stuff before.

    That's gross (thank you for sharing the link, I haven't heard of that one) but it is 100% not what hexbears mean as they refer to their own forum posts as "slop". They just mean low effort "content" in the more generic English slang sense.
