People here have gotten progressively meaner and I am seeing more and more AI slop. Also the quality of memes have fallen off a fucking cliff in all meme communities.

MODERATORS
Lemmy has a bit more active users which is great. However, I have also noticed that Lemmy has gotten similar things as Reddit these days. Different opinions are not welcome, quick/ angry comments (politic community though)
However, Lemmy now has a decent app(s) such as Voyager. I also love that Lemmy does not restrict/ block users from using swear words (at least the instance I’m on does not).
Though in all honesty, I mostly use an RSS-feed such as Reeder and InoReader.
Different opinions are not welcome, quick/ angry comments
I feel like Lemmy is consistently hostile to different opinions. It's a real disappointment.
I, unfortunately, have to agree and that’s why - most of the times, I just check Lemmy posts through RSS-Feed.
I sometimes hop onto Voyager and comment on posts/ articles. But the more hostile, twisting of words and such are happening. The less I will be using Voyager to comment and just use the RSS-Feed to see the posts.
I really liked Lemmy in the early days when people went from Reddit to Lemmy. Miss those times.
Depends on instance, largely. Lemmy instances usually lean towards 1 or maybe 2 camps of the "liberal, anarchist, Marxist" triangle, and are hostile to the other 1 or 2 camps.
Given that this website has experienced the Reddit migration (I am one of those migrants), it has definitely started to feel a bit like Reddit, but it still differs in a lot of ways. There's less bots, actually engaging conversations, actual content. To me, this website continues to capture the vibe of the early Web2 days of the internet in a way that Reddit clearly moved away from, definitely so that its executives can make more of them monies. It feels a bit nostalgic in a way, and that's what I like about this website.
It's become much more moderated and controlled. I think reddit is actually less controlled. I'm seeing conversations about Swedish immigration that would never be allowed on Lemmy.
On the other hand, I saw that Luigi was not allowed to be mentioned in Reddit now in some subreddit.. So... Lol.

Election spam which filled the front page is mostly gone.
- Less buggy
- Instance blocking
Just got banned from !linuxsucks, got a feeling that's nothing uncommon though, power tripping mod situation
Lol I didn’t even know this community existed. To be fair their description even states that moderation is heavy handed.
Edit: Pretty sure that’s a troll community or something? Every single post there is kinda crap and is being downvoted.
It's run by and for an absolute crank.
That guy is Poe's law, embodied. Absolutely everyone thinks it's a joke... at first.
I've seen it from time to time, and after the initial "...Why...?" it had me wondering if it was trying to be some sort of Lemmy counterculture. Parody makes more sense, but if it's sincere I just sort of feel bad.
