I think this is a good point. When I got here, before I started shaping my feed, it was basically rule196, furry porn, tankies and memes.

Actually… A lot like Reddit in the Digg days, minus the tankies.

Less "gems" and rage comics and "Le", but the same idea, modernized for 2023.

It was those of us (probably in this Lemmy thread, ironically, 15 years-ish later) who outlasted the Le gems of Reddit, and turned it into the modern place.

Then, spez. Fuck spez

Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you’ve been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.

Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.
