Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

      I thought that CrunchyJamCreator name sounded familiar. Seems to be one of the 130 accounts I’ve blocked already.

      I honestly feel like the only way to have a nice social media experience is by strictly curating your feed. You can’t pay attention to everything anyways so by cutting out the trash you vastly improve the signal to noise ratio. If I see someone posting a stupid comment I open their profile and quickly go thru it to see if they’re posting anything of a value. If not I block them and move on.

      you cant really expect anything else from chapotraphouse, the reason they’re on lemmy (also why lemmy even is a thing to begin with) is because they got banned off reddit together with other far left subs

      Oh, that reminds me the discussion I had with two nationalists here in Lemmy. Apparently, unless I pretend that fermented and then distilled sugar cane is “magically” different depending country, I’m assumed to be from a nearby country. The whole thing sounded a lot like “gravity doesn’t work on Fridays, and if you say that it does I’m going to pretend that I’m an illiterate and not read it”, i.e. typical Reddit lack of character/rationality/decency.

      I’m saying this because I’ve found this behaviour usually peaks when there’s a large-ish influx of Redditfugees, then it tones down. So it’s likely most the result of recent immigrants; I think that the most obnoxious/Reddit-like ones will end back in Reddit, while the others will learn to not behave like morons.

          You are using arguments. The two nationalists in question weren’t; they were simply “chrust me” and then “lalala I’m not listening this contradicts my nationalism lalala”. And more importantly because they wanted to claim that you’d spoil a drink by using the wrong type of rum. (As if the sort of rum that you’d use to make drinks wasn’t the simplest and most “samey” available - it’s a waste to make a drink with the more iconic stuff.)
