    People saying how it’s no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.

      Yeah it does seem a bit more pessimistic than reddit to me, I wonder why it is

        Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.

          What subs were/are you on? I mostly only go back for my region-specific meme sub, so I guess it makes sense that there is less negativity. Plus sometimes searches with site:reddit.com

            I don’t go on Reddit anymore except when some Google search brings me there hehe. I used to be mostly on gaming, tech and programming subreddits, plus a handful of hobby related subs like /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/fountainpens, and so on. Very little shitposting/memeing going on, admittedly.

            I’m too lazy to type site:reddit.com, I just append “Reddit” at the end of my search query lol

      I feel like they’re a small minority of people who came here expecting it to be exactly like Reddit, but “better” without any clear understanding of what that actually means lol
