Oh, believe me, that happens here, too, and it happens in the exact same places it happened most on Reddit (communities dedicated to politics and specific pieces of software).
For instance, the community surrounding ReVanced here seems to be just as toxic as it was on Reddit.
Armv7 basically boils down to a 32 bit kernel, and any phone with less than 4GB ram is almost definitely going to have a 32 bit kernel, even with a 64 bit processor.
I made the mistake of going to their /b/ board one time. In short, yes, people do. Horrifying gore, too. Just basically don't. Like, ever.
The problem with the comparison here, however, is that that place moves incredibly fast and deletes everything automatically and permanently. Even if the feds came knocking for 4Chan, there'd probably be nothing to show. Lemmy, on the other hand, apparently caches everything locally until you manually purge it (so I've heard).
I think imgchest.com deserves more recognition. It has a UI that's a lot like old imgur, doesn't compress the hell out of images and the person that runs it seems pretty cool.
(I've also talked to the person who runs postimages, and they seem pretty cool to fwiw.)
I've stopped using Reddit almost completely. I'm checking on the one subreddit I built from the ground up about once a week (1K to 50K, a lot of CSS and automod work, etc), and I'm trying to pass off my other subreddits to other people. At least one is just going to go totally unmoderated, and the one I'm keeping is going to be a lot more restrictive.
Yep, I talked about this on Reddit a couple weeks ago. They started putting filters against Lemmy instances up almost as soon as people started talking about moving. They started with small instances, but now they're moving on to the larger ones.
I had to use kek.gg just to share a link to my new community to the old subreddit.
Edit: Is this really a three-year-old thread or is something wrong? If it is, how did it end up at the top of my "hot" feed!?
