What do you mean? I’m 16/f/cali
Lemmy is so good right now because there’s no commercialization here.
And hopefully never will be. It seems like the people hosting instances aren’t in it for the money. Particularly the *.world guys have other fediverse projects big enough that they could’ve done something like, say, add ads to it.
The .world sites are being financed by a patreon and other donations. They even make their finances public every few months.
For me it is lack of commercial interests (ads hidden in post), lack of bots, and lack of "funny meme and jokes’ posts.
lack of "funny meme and jokes’ posts
This is it for me. The Pavlovian posting and upvoting of shitty jokes in every. single. thread. I haven’t bothered with reddit’s comment section in years because of it. Here, the comments so far seem chill and appropriate for the posts.
The same shitty jokes at that, over and over and over again.
That’s the other thing, people wouldn’t do that if it didn’t get them karma every single time. Karma isn’t publicly displayed on Lemmy, and if the vision of very spread out communities comes to fruition it also just wouldn’t make sense anyway.
