1·
1 year agoThere’s nothing. It’s been slowly getting more and more shitty for years. It’s just been happening so slowly that there wasn’t a breaking point where most of us left until now.
I’ve been casually looking for an alternative for years, because the content has gotten so low effort. There just hasn’t been any good alternatives. I tried Voat, but that got over run with racists and Trumpers almost from the jump.
Lemmy is the first thing I’ve found that seems half decent and it needs to triple ot quadruple it’s engaged user base to really have a shot. Too many posts with no comments or very few. What made reddit special was the comments and interactions. I have hope lemmy can get there, it just needs way more users to do so.
I probably would be one of them, but I paid for a year subscription last November. Once that’s up, I’m probably dumping it for some other service, at least until House of Dragon and The Last of Us come back.
HBO MAX was my favorite service when it launched. It’s slowly lost good content and added shitty low quality reality shows in their place. It still boggles my mind that a company like Discovery could purchase Warner Brothers.
