yeah sucks that reddit alienated all of their most intelligent users
Yep. Reddit shouldn't have pushed so many power users out.
Shit, if Lemmy is supposed to be the intelligent ones then all hope is lost
Hey, I remembered a thread bashing winrar when thinking about needing a compression software then looked it up to see people's alternative recommendations.
New strat
Search: [insert shitty thing] sucks ass lemmy

Not if you want to push the site hard to the right!
What does it matter? Not our problem if it goes left or right let them have their shit cake.
We still live in the same society as others. People often adopt the cultures and ideologies of where they end up, or at least move closer to it than they were before. If reddit shifts its userbase to the right — even if the net effect is from "very very left" to "very left" — it will impact the lives of all of us that live in societies with large numbers of people using that site, as it'll filter down into our politics. Even if we don't interact with them.
For a long time, the "default" ideology of the internet was on the left. As internet usage has become dominated by a handful of sites owned by megacorporations, there has been a not at all subtle effort to nurture a conservative ideology on those sites. Stuff like reddit holding off on banning the Trump sub for however long or twitter refusing to implement their hate speech detection because it correlated too strongly with conservative politicians (not to mention what Musk has done there). I don't think this is an accident.
This is what you are worried about? If it goes hard right or even "very left" is that not what it was underneath? Let them be cesspools. Everybody talks about preventing, but no one does shit besides being armchair PC warriors. Go buy the website and fix it to your liking, or better yet do a strike and this will help reddit... Oh wait it won't.
All because people are deleting shit will not make it go hard right or very left. That is just straight BS.
