As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

    Unfortunately not only is Reddit still chugging along, Lemmy is slowly losing users.

    Growing new communities is very hard and takes a long time.

      It sucks to get to the end of social media. On Reddit I could always find plenty of posts with hundreds of comments and many were worth reading or replying to. Lemmy absolutely has good content and good comments, but you can get to the end where there’s no more. It probably doesn’t help that I’ve been much quicker to block people over the cut of their job. I don’t come here to argue or hate people more than I already do, so I spend a lot less time and words embroiled in pointless conflict.

      But I still haven’t been back to Reddit and won’t. When I get to the end of content I find means going to TikTok or Instagram - two things that I’ve never liked but at least it’s a stress free way to kill time, just louder.

        Yeah after 12 years on reddit, I feel this. But on the other hand, I’ve found myself enjoying the extra time I would have been scrolling on the phone and reading a lot more books

        That’s what Reddit was like 12 years ago when I joined. Frankly, I’ll take the higher quality community here on Lemmy over the endless scrolling potential and lowest common denominator discussions on modern Reddit.
