    Lol, and here I was imagining the average lemming as a mid 30s-40s dude with a linux thinkpad and a preference for femboys with long socks.

      Before the reddit exodus, that was probably true. Now it is very obviously full of people with edgy takes and no life experience.

        I haven’t been here for that long (start of december) but I feel like I have felt the obvious shift as more reddit people have joined the site.

          You can see it in the various ‘asklemmy’ communities. When I was left wondering if we were being brigaded by folks from nostupidquestions or having a bot trying to drive engagement with simpleminded stuff, I knew the original lemmy feeling was about to be gone.

          It makes me a little grumpy that I have to experience the eternal september.

            Yeah. I’ve seen way more people correcting someone for using the wrong word when it is obvious what they meant instead of responding to what they’ve said and I think that is a big indicator of the kind of people that are joining.
