My mental state using reddit vs lemmy.
Listen, I like lemmy, but it is turbo-doomer compared to Reddit. I think one of the biggest differences is that the smaller reddit communities that I'd use to escape the doomer shit like /r/furry_irl or /r/polandball just don't really exist here.
Same here. I generally prefer Lemmy at this point but I absolutely hate how everything is politics on here. Even the meme communities are half the time just shitty talking points in a meme template.
So much negativity all the time and all of it is essentially useless because virtually everyone on Lemmy is at least progressive already. So the comments are just a bunch of people agreeing with each other how terrible everything is.
It’s really exhausting.
There's a sweet spot between concentration and dilution. I hope lemmy can self regulate that ratio.
