If anything Lemmy is even worse. At least on Reddit you could find niche subs where uninformed or objectively stupid comments would be ruthlessly downvoted and it was only the big subs where one would encounter the idiot masses with their mob mentality.
Lemmy doesn’t have any niche subs like that, at least not yet, or not that I’m aware of. Accordingly, the signal to noise ratio here sucks. The gibbering idiot masses almost entirely drown out the few intelligent, well-informed and thoughtful comments there are.
There I was, thinking people on Lemmy might me smarter than on Reddit… Regarding most comments, not just yours.
