What does Lemmy do better than Reddit? - eviltoast

Just found this space, I’m trying to play around with this platform. Can anyone help to explain?

    Reddit, especially the bigger subs - feels really, really stupid lately. And I hate to say that because it sounds so insulting, but it really does feel like the average “IQ” on the site has gone from being this kind of tech/nerd culture of reasonably well educated people to like… old ladies complaining about their ‘entitled’ DoorDash drivers. It often feels like Facebook.

    Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy isn’t 100% geniuses or anything and there are some smart people on Reddit, but on Lemmy I’ll actually have back and forth conversations with people and it feels like more people are acting like human beings

      It might be insulting, dunno, but I think that it’s completely true. In special, verbal intelligence and logic reasoning are extremely low there.

        Ohhh. Logic reasoning is extremely low indeed! I see so many fallacies there, it’s crazy.

        It’s funny, the “zoomers”/teen audience is not even a bother to me - I genuinely feel like it’s a lot of the more 40-50s demographic which makes any form of conversation a nightmare.
