This 100%. I fucking hate what they’ve done to reddit and won’t go back, but Lemmy is all the stupid edgelord bullshit you find on Reddit, amplified ten times somehow.
Part of it is that the people here have an air of superiority for being in the secret techie club lmfao. It’s as annoying and tribalistic as the stupid “what time does the narwhal bacon?” bullshit from early reddit. I also think the whole concept just attracts shut-in tech types who know a lot about privacy and Linux, but aren’t very good at the whole social thing.
