Like, a majority of my direct interactions with some users from all across the Fediverse and not just Lemmy have been annoying. The kind of nuisance where I feel like I absolutely want to maim the person who bothered responding to me.
At least with Reddit, I know I can expect it because it’s a wider audience and that’s part of it’s reputation. With the Fediverse, for a considerably smaller pool of people in comparison that desire more friendlier engagements because of wanting an alternative, they certainly have proven to be the biggest jackasses of the bunch.
Which makes me think that there’s really no hope for the Fediverse in general to be as big as the opposition. Because once people see that there’s virtually no difference between where they’ve been from where they are, it almost defeats the purpose of having switched at all.
And that’s pretty much where I’m sitting currently.
Well, a decent amount of us are Reddit refugees and assholes are everywhere, so naturally some of the Reddit assholes came along and are starting shit with the OG Lemmy assholes and us dumbass’s are stuck in the middle trying to talk about Linux and our boi Luigi while giant shitballs are flying past all around us.
Once you can ignore the shitballs, it’s way better than Reddit.
