One problem I have is that the core design problem of Reddit is the use of user upvotes/downvotes to sort (and either highlight or hide) based on the number. But not only does an opinion unpopular not mean that it’s wrong, it’s vitally important for any democratic society that we are regularly exposed to viewpoints that differ from our own.

Lemmy doesn’t challenge that, and I wish it did.

Tbh I suppose I just want old-school vBulletin forum boards back, but I don’t know any general-purpose ones…

Unnfortunately Lemmy, regardless of the server, is a complete echo-chamber of left-wing politics, at least in my experience.

Oh damn, Moonring looks super cool. Surprised I hadn’t heard of it!

Yep. Checking via the notifications tray really helps

I hate feeling like I need to reply to a message straight away.

But then by the time I’m, like, ready to reply, I’ve already forgotten I was supposed to!
