minus-squareMacFearrs@vlemmy.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoPersonally, I’ve found Reddit now Lemmy to be better than other social media because the focus is on the content rather than the poster. Instead of following individual people, you follow topics. This encourages more quality content rather than personal clout

In discord, I’m always having to scroll back & forth, and the other socials are frustrating to deal with.
