Reddit just wrapped up its second earnings call as a public company and CEO Steve Huffman hinted at some significant changes that could be coming to the platform. 3
I miss some of the more casual subreddits, and somehow Lemmy is even more of an echo chamber than Reddit is, but otherwise yeah, Lemmy is fine. Especially with the Photon frontend.
It makes sense, those that backed off Reddit were more than likely against Corpo greed while conservatives cheer it on. Lemmy was created by leftists supposedly and more left leaning people joined after leaving reddit so it’s no surprise. Reddit kept the bootlickers and the lazy, Lemmy gained the anti-greed political left so we were sort of destined to be an echo chamber unfortunately.

Yeah I really miss the trumpers responding constantly to anything about him with absolute bullshit lies. That really added perspective to my worldview. Now, if we could only get some more people to join Lemmy who despise Linux /s
Yes, valuable perspectives like UnIpArTy!!!1 and bOtH sIdEs!!!1
Edit: I want to agree with your sentiment though, really. I’m just jaded after several years of seeing disingenuous views expressed. Trump isn’t really one I can abide by letting off the hook but I’ve seen that attempted by MANY centrists to the point that I no longer can believe there exists a such thing as a “centrist”.
I mean, it’s our fault as leftists that it is an echo chamber. We have forgotten how to talk about polemic issues among ourselves. I bet we lemmings have big differences (in the details) but we are afraid of bans or talking to walls, so…

There are centrists and even conservatives out there in the world who have valid perspectives and values but who are not Trumpers.
