Not really, I mean, yeah, my equivalent reddit account is 15 years old, is karma rich, one of my comments was added to reddits filing to the FCC in favor of net neutrality (hey, how does this new policy comport with net neutrality BTW?), and I've been added to a bunch of the special/high karma subs...
But what it boils down to is reddit has become hostile to me as a user. They don't want my traffic? My top 1% of karma accounts? That's cool. ~~Fark~~ -> ~~Digg~~ -> ~~Reddit~~ -> Lemmy or something else.
When your business model is user supplied links to user generated content in user created and moderated forums, that means your business model is INFINITELY replaceable.
Just getting my feet wet with Lemmy and Jerboa, let's see how this shakes out.
I miss Fark. The Photoshop comps were incredible and the banter there was good, although hard to follow with the comment threads.
