      In all honesty, when I joined Reddit right after digg went to shit. It was amazing. Reddit was great, 3rd party apps were welcome, their interface was straightforward, and they had none of those NFT gold shit.

      It just went downhill.

        At that point, they were also open source which was super cool. I always wanted that profile badge you got for submitting a merged PR.

        Reddit really went downhill fast after ~2015. I think Lemmy will get there eventually. I remember reddit being a lot smaller back then as well. It took a while to get to the point where niche communities could thrive and I do believe we’ll see that happen here as well (even if it takes a decade or so)

      smug power mods of reddit at all.

      Oh they’re here too. They’re not causing too much drama because there’s not enough going on, but they’re here. Some of them are admins of certain instances.

      The ones that aren’t here yet will eventually find their way here when Lemmy continues to grow. And the most concerning thing about that is how many more tools Lemmy is providing them to fuck with users.

      At least on Reddit, mods couldn’t see votes. Lemmy actually just made it easier for them.
