That is a benefit and a drawback for me. The benefit is that I am less addicted to my phone because the content is finite. The drawback is that I need my fix damnit.
I like how many of the users don't resort to memes or namecalling (not that there aren't a few here and there) and the replies are straightforward
I never had a reddit account so I used it's implosion as a push off to set me free from 4chan but also not going to that overly policed place.
I think Lemmy is a nice middle ground.
TL;DR; Three points:
- my selected communities seem to provide adequate interesting topics - there's always one or two rabbit holes to go down
- I have a voice - commenting here is transparent and not censored as much as Reddit
- I think the average age of contributors here is greater than the sex and shit joke fixated twelve year olds on Reddit which is a good thing
