    Agreed on all points, but re: Lemmy.world, not Kbin.

    I just installed the Liftoff app which defaults to showing Lemmy.world and posts there are just like /r/popular from the last few years, with lots of shitposting, low effort comments, and mean-spirited memes. That side of Reddit is why I was only subbed to niche communities.

    Here feels like Reddit circa 2010, where people use upvotes to highlight thoughtful/insightful content.

    It was particularly jarring on Lemmy.world seeing thoughtful posts supporting a different view being downvoted.

    Anyway, fully agreed. Beehaw is my Reddit replacement. I just need to start posting more links again, which I mostly stopped doing on Reddit like a decade ago.
