2 days agoI recently re-joined Lemmy, so I am not sure how it changed, but I am mostly a Mastodon user and I noticed that people were flooding it in large quantities when something stupid happened on Twitter (again), and then leaving it after a short while to go back to Twitter or quitting social media altogether. I would suspect that people either started going back to Reddit, or decided to get a mental health break from the internet as a whole (which wouldn’t surprise me, the internet is pretty depressing lately).
I can relate to that. Most of the info I usually need from Reddit is about gaming, and the majority of games I play aren’t even mentioned here. I also agree on the political ragebait part. I narrow my feed down to the communities I follow only, because the moment I use “All”, I get a lot of these.
