Also it was a don't offer critique unless it's asked for place, otherwise if you can't say something nice say nothing, so comments got legitimately reported all day too.

It's hard to imagine the scale of the bad actors on that site, it's a constant flood being held back.

I did help mod a community on Reddit. Daily, so many reports it took a team of us to manage them. I was on there for about 15 years, it's not a recent problem.

I single handedly (so far) mod a community here. 2.5 years, two reports total. What a joy.

Which to be clear, is totally fine to prefer. I just think it's a bit silly to claim there's more human content here when that couldn't be further from the truth

On the other hand, Lemmy/Piefed feels like Reddit used to be. It might be small, but it feels human-led with no gamification incentives.

Not dunking on the fediverse, I'm obviously happy here. But let's not oversell it....reddit may be mostly bots but they still have five times as many humans posting lol

If you mess up and say something stupid, there's a button you can press that says "I changed my mind about this comment". The comment remains visible, but everyone sees a disclaimer that you no longer believe what you said, and they can't reply. No more replies telling you the same thing, and you don't look like a sneaky coward. Other people get to learn from your mistake.

You can follow microblogs from Piefed. I'm following George Takie, I can see his toots from My Piefed account.

You can set your pronouns and they'll appear next to your name on most communities. Species too, if you're otherkin.

There's a list of new communities and a separate list of active communities in the homepage sidebar. Communities are also organised into topics, so you can find new communities to join more easily.
