as a reddit refugee i mostly use lemmy, but sometimes i go back by a lack of alternative to some subreddit, which one you feel there is a need ?

    I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for…gasp… liking popular books.

    There’s just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It’s like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.

    I hope that sort of thing doesn’t catch on here. But the “asshole filter” could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.
