Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it. (sh.itjust.works)

r/redditalternatives thread: This is why I don't trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won't answer why. https://web.archive.org/web/20240111205116/https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/193iuf1/this_is_why_i_dont_trust_anything_on_reddit_a/

they are terrified of the fediverse. it offers everything they do, but with none of the bullshit.. all we need is momentum.

I'm pretty happy with fediverse as it is. If we had the size they do id be yelling into the wind again like in my last years there. I don't want this place to be anything like what reddit became. Now that i know what it can be like i don't want to go back, not even to reddit circa 2010 when i found it

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I want the niche subs to migrate. And for that, the Fediverse needs to be the default, which requires numbers.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a damn tricky balance. In order for there to be enough people to support super niche communities, you need a shit load of people. If you have a shit load of people, then posts on All have tens of thousands of comments, so the odds of you being able to say something and have a discussion goes drastically down.

Personally, I love being able to sort by Top 12 Hours, comment on the top post and having people respond. I also like that it's not at all rare to have someone comment on a post I made weeks ago, since posts aren't drowned out by the mass of content. Sure I don't have a community to talk about the nitty gritty details of the latest game I'm playing, or whatever, but I think it's a nice trade off.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

It doesn't have to be that way here. Each instance can have its own news and politics communities, while sharing the niche stuff.

I wonder if an Instance can choose to not federate specific communities. Maybe the tech isn't there yet, but it can be.

Yeah, I am super happy with what we have here, Redditors can come here at whatever pace they like but I won't rush them. I spent my last month on Reddit (in June) helping people move to Lemmy, but there were so many comments of "why are you still here then, lul", so I left that site and haven't bothered since.

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

why are you still here then

I ignore those, or just answer to encourage more people to move. It's important to still have people on reddit encouraging and helping people migrate.

[–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

why are you still here then, lul

I dont understand that mindset from people. are they trying to bait you into conversation or put you down or are they genuinely not know that "a captain leaves the ship last to rescues his crew"

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I suppose they were trying to be witty like saying "Farewell and see you back here tomorrow!" as I suppose most of the casual users will have stayed with the platform.

I tried. Maybe I'll post a new FAQ post in like 4 months for the sake of anyone still curious after a year since a lot has changed and improved since then.

Agree, we shouldn't subscribe to the "growth before everything" mentality here. Quality of comments is generally quite high with a much better signal to noise ratio.
Also it's nice to NOT see the same tired comment chains under each and every top comment.

I don’t want this place to be anything like what reddit became

Unfortunately, most of the migrating communities have been meme subs. So it may be inevitable as any site tries to appeal to the mainstream.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The real problem is its relatively easy to make a product that offers everything reddit does because reddit isn't special.

It's the users. We have the power to move, all we need is a reasonable alternative.

They wouldn’t be punching down if they didn’t think this was a threat to them.
