I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

OK, I'm going to lock this post. People obviously didn't get the message from my previous comment.

It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it's much more diverse.

Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it's on the roadmap.

hmm, does kbin not get the porn? how annoying

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

been here a month or so.

def seeing more abusive people show up, and nutcases who are spamming their ideological nonsense on every post who have think being first to post about their victim hood as misunderstood holders of THE TRUTH is some sort of relevant commentary and they are being oppressed by some other group of a different ideology.

this thread seems to be exhibit A.

also way more low quality shit posting and memes which i have to spend several minutes blocking each morning.

While there is some bad, overall it had genuinely changed for the better. There's a lot more diversity in the kind of people here and the kind of content posted. It used to be a lot more dominated by Tankie nonsense.

Got my first explicit scatological DM from someone with no fewer than three actual slurs (n-word included) in their username yesterday, from the lemmy.world instance (yes, my instance), so that was "fun". I've also seen the same sort of posts, from the same sorts of users, elsewhere in comment sections. Fun times.

More rude people yes. But it was to be expected. On the plus side, more content also created by people who are not rude and immature. Most are not.

The memes are way better and hitting real good these days.
