Agree completely. I thinkk my reddit account is 13 years old now. I got over the new reddit UI, took me a while. Still the main thing is, the discussions are what made reddit. Right now, everybody seems to be jumping ship to lemmy/kbin, but most of the main topics are either crapping on reddit or trying to compare reddit with lemmy/kbin, instead of letting it be it's own thing.
My main site will still be reddit, if the quality of posts starts rising without bashing reddit on every 2nd one, then I might change completely.
Also, the UI still feels a bit basic to me.
I think the comparison is valid though. People want to know if Lemmy is a good alternative for them and you can only do that by comparing.
It doesn't take away that Lemmy is it's own thing.
