The quality of comments on Lemmy, I’ve noticed, are far better than Reddit comments on average.
When you remove all the fluff, there’s about the same if not more useful stuff in comment threads here, however on Lemmy there’s way less fluff (again just what I’ve noticed).
See the reason I ask is because one way to ensure there are batshit crazy takes is to claim that there are. It puts everyone on guard, making everyone less rational.
Basically, this kind of talk is bad for morale, at the level of a community. This kind of talk, if it’s not reporting something specific and real, degrades the health of a community, the ability of that community to communicate internally.
If there’s real batshit crazy stuff, it can be linked to. Consider it a sort of authenticity challenge, so we’re not all going into fight or flight mode based on zombie sighting reports, when there actually aren’t any zombies.
I’m happy the batshit comments are from leftist-adjacent crazies instead of diet Nazis, but it’s still aggravating to deal with tankies who think there’s no such thing as tankies. Even the fuckin’ mods on .ml act like America’s government is just as bad as China’s and also China’s did nothing wrong. Zero cognitive dissonance.

I’ve noticed there are more absolutely batshit crazy takes.
I prefer that to the amount of wildly bigoted comments I would see on Reddit.
Like what? Can you link?

i always thought the constant “reddit is problematic” posting ruined the quality of subs and should’ve been limited to dedicated meta threads.
