Lemmy is an improvement over Reddit in terms of its business structure. We don’t yet know what the downsides will be of decentralized social media at scale, but we know that it beats a tech company that went from venture capital to publicly traded while already deep in enshittification.
Lemmy is not an improvement over Reddit in terms of design: it’s designed the exact same way, so it has the same set of advantages and disadvantages.
The improvement in community is hard to guesstimate, and will change as the site grows. Aside from the company, it was often the users that made Reddit suck, and Lemmy is completely capabe of sucking in the exact same ways.
I’ve never really been able to leave my zits alone, if i see one and don’t pop it i can’t stop thinking about it. So yeah i’ve been popping my zits into napkins since always and it’s kinda fine, it wouldn’ be fine if i got more though.
That’s my skincare routine in its entirety.
