anyone who doesn't understand lemmy after using reddit must be a real pea brain
Not necessarily a pea brain, but certainly clueless on why Reddit, Digg, Slashdot etc. went downhill.
I mean the most often expressed complaint I see there is that the fedivwrse is "fractured" as if joining one instance won't let you see content from another instance. They are missing the crucial element that they are all still connected to each other, and Reddit also kinda works this way, with content hosted across a plethora of servers. Those servers are just controlled by a single entity and you probably won't notice when you move from one to another unless one is down.
It just seems fractured at first and sorta is with some instanced banning some instances, but its not bad, just seems bad
It's a mess, but organized
I think it's just that reddit looks like everything else now (Pinterest/Instagram/ect) with their UI so the general public expects certain elements to do certain things. They don't remember the old interface nor the free-wheeling link madness reddit had in the beginning.
Reddit only became popular relatively recently.
Bet they are the ones who browse the internet without an ad blocker.
