This platform has shrunk, not grown. The good people seem to have left, maybe as a result of the reddit people coming in?

Here's the thing, this platform is small. It is a small forum, and it's changed in tone from being a place of discussion, to a place of jerking

Or maybe as a result of poor moderation. The way how other instances defederated from lemmy.world comes to mind. Compared to the other instances I am in, this one seems more belligerent, and that's not a matter of up or downvotes.

I have to admit I did come from reddit, but if there was a moment of pure, 100% jerk free discussion here, I must have entirely missed it. Then again I was on reddit before people started saying circlejerk took over, and in retrospect that was an entirely idealized memory. If anything, it overrepresented certain viewpoints far more before the "circlejerk took over"
