      I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.

      There’s a key difference, at least when it comes to hating Reddit.

      Most [all?] users here have actual, informed reasons to hate Reddit, from past experiences with the site. They aren’t simply joining some bandwagon due to social expectations to bend to the crowd.

          Yes, it is. I don’t disagree with thetreesaysbark and you on that.

          However I think that a circlejerk formed by similar-minded individuals gathering into the same place is far, far more benign than your “typical” circlejerk revolving around social pressure.

          Also, let us [humans in general] not fool ourselves into believing that circlejerks are avoidable. Humanity boils down to “circlejerking hairless chimps” anyway.

      Goes to Google and types in a search

      • Reddit

      • Reddit

      • Forum post that links back to Reddit

      • YouTube that’s just a bunch of screenshots of Reddit over an automated voice

      • Reddit again

      Why won’t my ex leave me the fuck alone?

        Reddit actually solved that problem for me by blocking themselves from appearing in Bing search results.

          Ahh that explains why Ecosia has remained so pleasant to use. Bing can’t scrape it anymore 😅
