MODERATORS
I'm having the same experience on Lemmy that I had on reddit 13 years ago. It's fucking awesome
I actually said the same a few days ago. Lemmy now is how reddit was back in the beginning.
The question that remains to be answered is, are the normies that moved to Reddit responsible for what it became? Or was it a product of the corporate profit driven manipulation of the platform? Time will tell..
Edit: It's worth noting, I don't mean to say 'normies' a a pejorative term, just the most casual way to differentiate the more tech-savvy, active early adopters that I find many people currently using the platform are, versus those who are simply doom scrolling content on social media.
All I'll say is The time r/funny became a default sub, things started to go downhill and I had to start blocking subs from my page
