I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Reddit threatened to remove mods from subreddit if they did not reopen. So in malicious compliance the reopened but changed the rules to only allow John Oliver posts. /r/pics started it at first I think.
John Oliver is also known for calling out corporate bullshit on his show so I’d imagine there is some intentional symbolism there.
