To be fair, the content quality on Lemmy has been about the same from what I’ve seen.
Bots all over the place, low-effort quips instead of discussions bubbling up, lots and LOTS of low-quality armchairing, personal attacks and flaming instead of actual discussion…etc
It was good for a month or so during the reddit 3rd party app purge, but quickly went downhill.
I think it’s a bit of both. Content itself is pretty lacking tbh - and I say this as someone who hasn’t exactly contributed any quality content, but I have definitely enjoyed the overall community, it reminds me a lot of reddit 10 years ago tbh.
God the quips became so popular and incessant it was really annoying. The comment used to be a good source of relevant information and there were some really funny people in there but now it seems to be drowned out by the same one liners or bots.

My experience has been almost nothing but positive. A few snarky replies, but 99% positivity and good discourse otherwise.

Stay out of the political subs if you want to keep it that way.
That’s just a good general tip for the internet: avoid politics and religion.
And something people have forgotten since the old days of forums: don’t feed the trolls.
That’s a given on any forum
That’s true of pretty much anywhere in life.
Yea but like Lemmy is a bunch of hobbyists running on donations. That’s not saying much for Reddit.
I haven’t had anything remotely like this when sticking to my subscribed communities.
I very specifically don’t experience this but maybe that’s because I’m using sync and have deliberately blocked bots from showing up in my feed.

I agree with this. There’s some problems that need to be addressed. Hopefully sooner rather than later
Truthfully hexbear has a lot to do with it. Could use a fediverse purge of that level of shitposting
