I had dealt with users on the other social media services and I always learn new stuff from interacting with people outside Lemmy.
On Lemmy, I really can’t believe what I am dealing with here.
I started using Lemmy expecting to see people with the same intelligence as Reddit or more (due to the subjective complexity of registration).
I feel that in Lemmy I am in the social media pool of edgy teenagers who can’t read.
Why is that?
If you think creating a Lemmy account is complicated, well that says a lot.
I don’t understand how this point keeps getting raised. It’s no different from making an account on ANY platform. Sure, you can choose an instance, but if you’re already browsing then the “create account” (or whatever it says) link takes you to a registration page just like any other.
Ignoring the obvious bait in the title, I think it’s mostly a numbers thing. On Reddit you can follow only communities that you vibe with, and the voting system works to keep low quality posts down. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t the same proportion of people on Reddit that you find objectionable, but they’re stuck in the bowels of downvote hell.
Or maybe you’re just surrounded by people with different views or life experiences and don’t know how to process it. Idk.
cause we dumb, lol
no cap frfr
on god, my brain got fanum taxed, I’m stoopidmaxxing
skill issue
Duh.
Is it because they disagree with you? I’ve found way more intelligent conversations and fewer memes on Lemmy compared to reddit.
It’s generally a lot less pretentious, which might appear as a lack of “intelligent” comments. Most Lemmy users just don’t spend hours trying to write page long comments on obscure topics that nobody else here cares about.
Also, in the more specific communities, lots of things are taken for granted. Places with more users will more often have the “todays 10000” user, who just discovered something that is new to them and then decides to write about it in detail. Lemmy is more polite that way: Not reposting noob stuff on a daily basis for karma or whatever point system brings it up constantly on other sites.
Well, your expectation is other users here must be intelligent.
But when looking at your post & comment submissions, it implies you yourself are not in that category you are expecting others to be.
What new stuffs you have learned at other places? What you were expecting here to learn?
Which other social media services do you mean?
