I’d estimate as much as 50% of the entire community left on Reddit are bots. I’ve seen people being downvoted systemically, just for saying completely ordinary things that aren’t even controversial.
Idk if they did something to the feed but the quality is atrocious. Half of the posts are upvote farming, thirst posts or weird askreddit posts.
Occassionally there are bice posts but Reddit fell of heavily. I think I’d rather scroll memes on my Insta feed (if I do it once every few weeks) than Reddit.
Lemmys memes are alright if a bit too much pro-linus/bash-windows

Your chance to go against the flow!
Regardless of quality of each system, it’s understandable that Lemmy’s userbase would lean more towards Linux as the reasons for using both instead of the dominant alternative are similar. Also Linux works really well for most stuff you’d do on Windows compared to 20 years ago.
But yeah it becomes somewhat annoying when people base a part of their identity on it. Then again, this is always true, regardless of topic at hand.
Tbf I was and am always more of a lurker and maybe a commenter.
My philosophy is that if I have no OC thing to post, I won’t. And I have never (to my knowledge) reposted a meme and only cross-posted one.
Regarding the Linux thing: I like Linux but I have my personal issues with it (for example: >50 different ways to set a static IP). But I can not say anything against it being not stable. And I like it as a server OS. But I don’t see it yet outside of a steam deck (I think linux users call that an immutable OS?) and servers. Desktop is still a bit clunky.
BUT Windows aint much better in a load of other bs. So it’s a solid 50:50

It seems like Windows and Linux users both agree that Windows sucks, they just disagree on it being avoidable.
I mean I’ve seen that here as well via kbin back when I used it, just at a smaller scale.
