[–] eldavi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) because reddit has all of the content and ease of use while lemmy has neither and we want to see lemmy succeed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Barack_Embalmer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Lemmy is succeeding just fine right now. Reddit's "content" is way more rage-baiting, fake AITA stories, culture wars both-sideisms, publicfreakout schadenfreude, and basic-tier iFunny memes, re-posted by waves of bots. All reddit is "succeeding" at is being a firehose of diarrhea. I prefer Lemmy's slant towards technology-related news, and polite discussion in earnest without painfully unfunny "and my axe" responses. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] eldavi@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
