What's the difference between Reddit and Lemmy culturally? I thought that the people who moved over here held opinions fairly typical of Reddit.
Hmm... Reddit users tend to be less thoughtful and more ready to play to the crowd, as opposed to a more personal approach on lemmy/fediverse. It's an important distinction, that lemmy is based on the idea of being nice to people. By doing so, I hope to, and have seen, far less one-liners and dismissive jokes. It's less toxic imo. It's not perfect, but we have to work in steps, together as a society in order to get to enlightenment like that. And lemmy is a decent step away from what Reddit culture has become.
Also, I think lemmy people are a bit less selfish and more socialist as an average, which probably contributes. I think it helps to go, "capitalism bad, let me actually try to take a step away from that and try to do (at least technologically) something that's better." Personally, I'm not a communist or pure socialist, but I'm definitely not gruntled by any means with our current socioeconomic systems. I've talked to some tankie friends irl and not only do we disagree a on some things, but one person believed that what I want doesn't exist/isn't a known societal structure, which is fine to me, that just means we haven't tried it yet.
