I’m lacking sources on it right now that I can recall, but I feel like I read once that this was intentional in some way, the conjoining of “product” and “community.”
If you find it, I’d appreciate a share. Any searches including the two words are poisoned by articles trying to tell you how to turn your brand into a community. Each search is just page after page of that shit.
Posting r/neoliberal is basically cheating!
…not that I’m complaining. I enjoy it.
I actually kept a second lemmy account that was more exposed to the broader lemmyverse, but I actually found it irritated me as much as Reddit so I have consolidated my online presence here. Any instance that would ban lemmygrad is one I probably didn’t want to see anyway.
I’ve had the same experience and came to the same conclusion.
But also I have a tendency of talking shit to the people on reddit subs that are deliberately being obtuse, reactionary, or contrary. I tend to argue with chuds in /r/lsc or dickbags in /r/vegan.
I used to do that and still sometimes have that reaction to people in some of the .ml communities, but seeking those out ended up making me feel like I was purposely wasting time arguing with shitheads that would never listen. It just made me angrier and I think I’m happier without it.
My bosses give me plenty to get angry about so I don’t get bored. I’m just lucky I’m difficult to replace, so I can speak my mind more often than most can.
I used to like some of the commie subs too, but I find Lemmy fills those interactions better and our comrades here are generally better informed, so I don’t really miss them much. r/Deprogram and some others posted fire memes that I sometimes miss.
That’s how I feel. It’s definitely gotten aggressive in terms of quieting any dissenting opinion too.
Something I was always frustrated with was the extremely confident answers that were completely wrong becoming top comments while the correct answers were often buried and down voted.
