The lack of continuous and backlogged content. For some this is a benefit because it gives them a reason to stop scrolling, but for others who come here to look for answers, find entertainment, or anonymously voice their opinions, this can be something of a downside.

Of course this platform is as anonymous as you make it, but I’ve seen some people say they refrain from commenting more often because they don’t want to be known as a regular, instead wanting to “blend in to the crowd” as one would on more populous sites like Reddit or Twitter.

These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his “meme collection” against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It’s sad seeing Lemmy’s shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.

turns out a lot of people didn’t pay attention in 6th grade social studies.
