As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

    It sucks to get to the end of social media. On Reddit I could always find plenty of posts with hundreds of comments and many were worth reading or replying to. Lemmy absolutely has good content and good comments, but you can get to the end where there’s no more. It probably doesn’t help that I’ve been much quicker to block people over the cut of their jib. I don’t come here to argue or hate people more than I already do, so I spend a lot less time and words embroiled in pointless conflict.

    But I still haven’t been back to Reddit and won’t. When I get to the end of content I find myself going to TikTok or Instagram - two things that I’ve never liked but at least it’s a stress free way to kill time, just louder.

      I feel the same way. On Reddit, they used to joke that the best material was in the comments.

      I’ve been using Sync and Thunder . There are lots of posts but often no comments at all.

      Sometimes it feels like a big cave of silence.

        It actually has been motivating me to comment a lot more than I did on Reddit. I feel like I actually have something to contribute. On Reddit, I would lurk more because my thoughts usually have already been expressed by someone else.

      That’s what Reddit was like 12 years ago when I joined. Frankly, I’ll take the higher quality community here on Lemmy over the endless scrolling potential and lowest common denominator discussions on modern Reddit.

      Yeah after 12 years on reddit, I feel this. But on the other hand, I’ve found myself enjoying the extra time I would have been scrolling on the phone and reading a lot more books
