Omg yes. There will be days where I question why I check r/AskReddit despite knowing 90% of it is sex-related. I just want to read interesting stories or learn something new in a field I’m not immersed in.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

We'll see how that goes as lemmy gets more popular, but yeah, I really like the overall vibe so far.
Something similar drove me off 4chan'd /b/ back in the day. At some point, it became absolutely not random, but simply dedicated to various porn - porn that surely had their own board, which made me even more confused as to why post it in a place that is specifically made for basically uncategorised content that shouldn't fit anywhere else.

Well. This content of this post did certainly not disappoint!
Honestly, I agree entirely. I was a lurker for the most part, and it was so tiring wading through the random horny posting throughout Reddit. There was a subreddit I followed that was specifically the same as another well-known subreddit, but had an additional rule that no mentions of sex were allowed. Even the various subs satirizing other popular subs (like ShitpostXIV, which focused on Final Fantasy XIV) eventually became half cropped porn. It gets tiring, and I was actually relieved to see the lack of NSFW topics here.

It's always bothered me that while I'm talking about the best way to bake a good tart that there's probably a subreddit called r/wellbakedtarts my info might get conflated with.
I'm fine with NSFW content, myself but there's some really questionable shit on there.
I’ve really enjoyed how much discussion is going on here! It seems like everyone is excited and happy to be here. Friendly conversations is something I missed on Reddit and I’m happy to have that here.
i'm new here. i never used reddit except if it was a search result for a specific, usually technical, question.
every thread i've looked at here has been like this one, intelligent, reasoned, no dunking except to look like a donut for effect.
the reddit experience described here… wow. that's many years of boiling frog.

I won't miss the adverts.
I'm so tired of being viewed as a revenue source in one way or another. It's really nice to go open source and not have that any more.
I'll miss my account, I've had it since 2012, but that's life.
A/S/L ? J/k. im with ya. feels nicer here so far
