    Ok but how do we set ourselves apart? Almost every new community is just reddit clone. There isn’t innovation. We are better and smarter and more dedicated, but we are just putting up with being decentralized reddit.

      This blog post makes a point about how the strength of the Fediverse is that things can be decentralized into topic-specific instances instead of general use communities.

      I am on StarTrek.Website. We only host Star Trek communities. It is much nicer there than on Lemmy.World.

      we are just putting up with being decentralized reddit.

      What’s wrong with that? I didn’t have much issue with Reddit other than the corporate ownership/dick moves by corporate leadership.

        That’s a good retort, actually. Huh. I didn’t like reddit much, and I guess ideally I’d use more of a decentralized tumblr or something else new and experimental. Lemmy is probably the wrong space for me, in that case…

      I propose everyone defederates Lemmy.world.

      Then they become reddit v2, more so than they already are, and the rest of us build something different.

      And the cunty admins can deal with all the BS that comes with that label.
