You must not pay attention, I’m new to Lemmy, but Reddit’s been garbage for years. Seems like a lot of that garbage made it’s way to Lemmy too. Face it anything that you can hide behind a screen and a keyboard with relative anonymity is fucking shit. It outs people for the kind of person they REALLY are when they don’t have to face the repercussions of saying shit to someones face.

Once coined as: John Gabriel’s G.I.F.T.

I still reference G.I.F.T. a few times a year. Glad to see someone else doing it.

Yes.

But here’s the thing:

Reddit/Lemmy: those people have equal voice to you or me. Of course they can amplify that voice with sockpuppets, but still - one account one vote.

Old Twitter: those people have downmodded influence. Twitter knew everybody hates them and treated them like the garbage they are.

New Twitter: those people rule the roost, because they’re willing to pay Elon $8/mo for a megaphone for their jackassery.

You can pay $8/mo and have your own platform too. What’s the issue?
