Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
They cannot be assholes they want to be in real life, so that they are living their dream lives in virtual world. Gotta have some sympathy for them - they are trying their best to feel some value in society.
