Finally deleted my reddit account after the AI news. What communities do you recommend on lemmy? - eviltoast

Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

    Unless yee be thee knights who shan’t let the filth slide 🫡 not without a fair comment back.

    It’s not everybody’s job!

    But if your mental health can take it, not blocking anybody should make this place more inviting to others, especially new users. (Quick example would be a news story about a politician where there are only a few top level comments which all miss the mark. If I see them, I can call them out, which means a newcomer perusing the comments Is more likely to think Lemmy a place for high-quality discourse.)

      Like I said, it’s repeat offenders that I block. I’m not blocking everyone I disagree with our anything like that. There’s some edgelord Reddit behaviour occasionally and I’d prefer that stayed back there.

        Haha oh yah.

        Well, the very worst of the worst are the #1 folks I’ll try my best never to block. The more prolific the moron, the more impact I can have as a part of the chorus of sanity!

        Cheers :)
