As a veteran of all these spaces, I feel like Lemmy feels superior for being what reddit was circa 2007, a small, underground but tight-knight community of free-agents and strong, independent thinkers. With less underage sexual abuse material. (As far as I know.)
It’s funny because despite being a site that seems to openly take pride in being further left than reddit, a lot of the people are the exact same people that they hated in reddit; a lot of isolated white male young american gamers with poor social experience, so left to its own devices this site would become a carbon-copy of reddit, warts and all.
