Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.
I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.
Reminds me of old school slashdot. A mix of techies, skeptics and libertarians. Luckily, the Demon Haunted World quotes stuck over the Ayn Rand junk. Last time I went on slashdot, it seems the libertarians took over. Never thought I'd see anti vaxxers there.
I almost forgot about Slashdot! Gosh, that was decent back in the day. I remember unsubscribing from their email newsletter years ago, after I noticed a consistent trend in topics being unfavourable to my ethos.
Slashdot was great and then I remember after DICE bought them they lost originality and the comments were just people meta complaining. Same feeling as you about the ethos change. Felt greasy at the end of my time there.

ThinkGeek use to be great. Still have the titanium spork I got from them for conventions and the "if you're not part of the solution you're part of the precipitate" tshirt.
This is the most patronizing response in here 🤣
