"The intellectual level of people here is much higher"
Strong doubt on this one. I've seen the same people, same mentality. Nothing wrong with that though.

MODERATORS
I have to disagree. Every time I revisit that place I'm reminded why I'm here.
After the API exodus sure got worse but I donβt see much difference from the reddit-before-that
Also, there are still a looot of power users still on reddit. So yes quality got worse there but itβs not like the bests came here anyway
Sad tho.
Strong doubt on this one.
I'm with you on this!
Hmm, invaders of that place? Which community are they in so I can avoid them..
All of them
Hmm, my block list is going to fill up..again..so sad.
do it and expect to see divides similar to what you saw on reddit; but that's the beauty of the fediverse.
when your community's collective group-think becomes unpalatable to a significant portion of its members (and it will eventually since lemmy is political at its core) they'll go off and create their own duplicate community without that toxic group-think.
and the intellectual level of the people here is much higher
Lmao, not really.
I'm no genius, I just googled for 5 minutes and figured out what the federation and drcentralization means. Anyone above the IQ of 80 could understand it, if they are willing to spend the time to read it.
But most people are just too lazy to read it and think fediverse is "too complicated".
Nah, for me it's simple, but I'm saying that due to having instances and servers more for the self-hosting scheme, the moderation is very efficient. Well on Mastodon at least it is, I've never had any problems here, to test this
Not too be confused with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orobas ;p
It popped up on YT several months ago.
What do you have to lose?
A little bit of my mental health, here is to learn new things, relax... life is already stress-free. Normal life
Fair enough. What kind of community are you thinking of? Maybe I could help.
That it is going to be free of all those things you mentioned in your description. If you create it I will gladly join. I just remade a reddit account after a month of deleting my old one and found out how hard it was to gain Karma. I never realized it was such an uphill battle. Other social media doesn't do this. They usually just use account age or make you wait a week before participating. Just inform that everyone will be treated fairly and not targeted by any power hungry mod. And that it is more sophisticated and mature than the reddit version .
