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.

    Reddit has always been full of teenagers. But it’s gotten “worse” over the past few years. Or maybe I (we’ve?) just gotten older. I don’t remember reddit being like this 10 years ago; but I was 10 years younger, and a teen too.

      I get it, I was a teen and I browsed reddit too, and enjoyed it a lot.

      I definitely think it’s gotten worse. Teens used to be more of lurkers in my experience, but that isn’t the case anymore especially because reddit is encouraging teens to treat the site more like twitter, and rewarding mindless engagement. I don’t remember the content being this mindless, or the teenagers being this vocal.

      Or maybe we’re just grumpy old people now idk anymore man
