That when you block someone, their comment vanishes from your sight. It is like they don’t even exist. That’s how blocking should be done. It isn’t like where on Reddit, you still have the option to click an icon next to their name and see what they’ve said that got you to block them. Why the hell is that a thing? Why should we care? If we want them blocked, we don’t want to see them ever again, including the ability to re-read what they’ve said.

      You say that but there’s a reason most people haven’t moved to the fediverse. 1/3 the stuff is reddit reposts and another 1/3 is from RSS feeds. Every community with a subreddit counterpart has a fraction of the human activity.

      Not dunking on the fediverse, I’m obviously happy here. But let’s not oversell it…reddit may be mostly bots but they still have five times as many humans posting lol

        Yes, Reddit has more users, but often, they don’t act like humans. They don’t contribute to discussions. Often, they karma farm.

        On the other hand, Lemmy/Piefed feels like Reddit used to be. It might be small, but it feels human-led with no gamification incentives.

          We have the same bot-like humans over here, too. Ragebait, memes, and twitter screenshots from 2018. Everything is just at a smaller scale.

          Which to be clear, is totally fine to prefer. I just think it’s a bit silly to claim there’s more human content here when that couldn’t be further from the truth

        The problem is trying to dig through 90% shit to find the 10%. Even then only a fraction of that probably interests you.
