I’ve been using Lemmy for more than a year now and in the last month I noticed this tendency to dunk on people that complain and make memes about reddit.
Let me get this straight: I agree with the sacred commandment “thou shall not compare the two platforms”, because Lemmy is trying to be its own thing and the comparison keeps holding back this process.
But people that bring reddit up are usually new users that are angry with it and the just found a new platform where they can express this anger. They just need to vent for a second until their frustration is gone.
And you dunking on them is the same as if you were dunking on your friend who’s angry they got fired because that’s a topic you already heard.

    Mostly they will only have a few rants about Reddit in their first month before they realise there’s better things to find on here I think.

    I came here from Reddit about a month ago or something. I didn’t feel the need to post about Reddit particularly but there are communities for it and logic dictates you’d post there. Just like if you want to post about DIY you don’t post in a Sci Fi community
