Like most other people here, I originally came here from reddit. Ive been having a blast so far, and I much prefer the forum-style of this. After about a week of using Lemmy I realized there was something intrinsic to reddit that Lemmy doesnt have. And I wont miss it. Too many people on reddit were way too horny. I was really annoying, but Lemmy seems way more chill. Plus its refreshing knowing that the people on here arent all bots.

    Lol, I kinda agree, which is somewhat related to another thing I won’t miss: The teenagers.

    The lockdown + reddit’s new direction of becoming more like fb/insta has drastically increased the number of teenagers on reddit. I hate it. It’s like an eternal summer-reddit.

    The discussions get crappy and stale, they don’t follow rediquette, they are insufferably naive but aggressive with their opinions due to twitterification of their online socialisation. and so.fricking.horny. TIFU and Askreddit almost completely became horny fantasy posting, and I blame the teenagers for it.

    God I feel like a terminally-online grumpy old man for saying it, but UGH interacting with teens online is like a human rights violation.

      Reminding myself that the person posting the worst opinions I’ve seen in my life is likely a 14 year-old with unrestricted access to the internet from birth is the only thing keeping me sane.

          can i ask a genuine question? i don’t look at porn personally, so maybe that’s why i don’t understand already, but why do you want to have nsfw content on lemmy? what’s wrong with using sites dedicated to hosting porn (ie. pornhub)?

            Because on Forums its better categorized and some certain things (Hentai for example) are just absolutely garbage to find outside of Forums
