I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

I feel Lemmy is like reddit without the normies making this infact more reddit than reddit
I miss the ‘normies’, I interact with enough tech people in my daily life
I block almost every tech community and tech is still 50% of my feed here
Even if lemmy goes mainstream. I am sure there will be several instances that only federate with each other and not be federated with the rest of the lemmyverse, keeping the vibe lemmy has now and the early reddit vibe. Just have to find these instances and join them.
And Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber? Try posting any conservative opinions around here and see how many downvotes you get.
can confirm, this place is as much a shit hole now as reddit is.
God I hate redditors.
Nope. Reddit in the early days was a place for free speech. I had a 15 year old account till I left. After about 2016 Reddit went full-Orwellian. And Lemmy.world has carried that tyranny forwards very faithfully. Just try and speak out against the narratives and you’ll be silenced quickly. That’s not what early Reddit was like AT ALL.
