People hated reddit but still rode the train.

I thought we were building a better reddit here. But turned out we're building an echo chamber where snowflakes can whine to each other all day long. Not sure what this really achieves as 99.9% of them always agree with each other.

Lemmy fundamentally fails at both simultaneously. Kinda explains why US politics is such a shitshow.
